    Paudie,

    I hope you have an uneventful journey and a smooth speedy recovery. In my opinion, you're in great hands both before, during and after surgery.

    Godspeed,

    Bob

    Paudie,

    Welcome to the other side!

    I hope today finds you as pleased and amazed as I was on day two. The nurses were a bit concerned when I started taking my walks without a walker but the absence of leg pain was a huge motivator for me to get moving on my own again. Just take it slow and easy and follow the surgeon's directions.

    Congratulations!

    Bob
