Thanks Mark & Timm. Saw the surgeon on Friday and got discharged from hospital - YAY - it's so nice to be home. He thought I'd start to turn a corner around Monday or Tuesday and I can definitely notice a slight improvement already. Still painful but at least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

You have all been so helpful already and I'm only 2 weeks into this whole "adventure".

Thank you.
