Fr. Mike,
I am so glad to hear from you! I found after surgery that my friends treated me as if I were fragile, my family considered me cured, and I vacillated between the two. Seven months post op I find myself surprised now when my tongue doesn't cooperate. I still have a hard time pronouncing sixes and sevens but that is about it.
Take care of yourself, and welcome back.
Sincerely,
Lisa
