Sunday night in Straubing... The surgery had been on Thursday... I wrote the original post Friday evening, when I had no idea how things would go. Friday had been a tough day. By Saturday, the patient was already doing better than we could have anticipated. It was clear that there were no new neuro issues or pains. Post surgical pain was substantial, but it seemed that he moved easier, walked and sat more comfortably than pre-op.

Earlier today... he left the hospital. We went out for lunch and walked around a bit. I still can't believe how he's doing. It's still early, but all good so far.
