Hi Rosemary and all, So sorry it has been so long. All is well and surgery and recovery are all behind me for now. Recovery was spent in the Mountains without internet. (Can you believe it?) Yes, I was in the hospital during holidays (12/21 - 12/30) What a relief getting rid of that watermelon. I feel like a new person for sure. Next obstacles will be to work on Lipedema (newly diagnosed) and my back/leg weakness issues. Prayfully nothing else comes up in the meantime.
