Hey there Ken - good luck with the surgery! You'll do fine. Recovery isn't easy it's a long road, but it's been well traveled by a lot of us here and we're all willing to help and listen!
An iPad is great I brought mine. It's fun for watching movies, and playing games and emailing and updating friends - Facebook etc...so it's a great tool. Typing on it is something you have to get used to though!!! There is an ap you. Can dl that let's you write if typing is taking too long. Plus you can dl a text ap as well.

Take care... Hopefully you'll be back and feeling good enough to post about your journey very soon! smile
