Monday, July 13th

I am no longer in the hospital! I am laying on the bed in our hotel room. Nice, very nice. I can control the AC. Anyway, all is going well and Kelly and I will stay here in the hotel until we fly home Thurs. It is normal procedure for people out of town to stay around a few days after being released just in case something comes up. Another step toward the right direction! Pain is not too bad most of the time. Mainly tight crampy pain around areas of incision scars from surgery. Starts hurting more if I stand/walk around for a time, and obviously is VERY painful to sneeze (have so only once) and cough. Normal surgery pain stuff, if you have experienced it you know what I mean. Should get a little better each day. Am tapering off prednisone, thank god! That stuff is evil, necessary sometimes, but evil. Should be steroid free in 4 weeks or so. More later.

    Matt,

    Sorry if this is redundant but I've tried to post from my phone and I don't think it went through. We have remembered you frequently in our prayers and wish for a speedy recovery. Thanks for all of your deep thoughts and sense of humor. To quote a famous (infamous?) coach...

    "I don't want to hear your hogwash. Bottom line how long? Yer damn right, not long!!"

    Good luck, Bud.
