I just spoke to Pauline... she's doing great.

She's taken ZERO narcotics since the surgery... not even for post-op pain... only tylenol. After the surgery, she could immediately tell that her pain generators had been addressed. While she still has some incision pain and is quite sore... only 3 days post-op, she can lay in positions that she could not... she can make movements that she could not... she says thing like, "I used to prepare myself for the pain when I'd move certain ways... now it's gone!" Wonderful news!

Jeff's flu us over and he's doing much better. His surgery also brought very dramatic improvements. He's working while he's there in Munich... all in all things sound like it's going very well for both of them.

Zeegers sent me a picture and Pauline says it's OK to share. We should have a contest to see who can create the best caption for the picture.


Pauline - Activ-L, Jeff Mobi-C (2), Charite' (3)
