Kathy, I'm 6'3.5" before this surgery... maybe close to 6'4" now.

We are packing up now and will be leaving for airport soon. Last couple of days have been good, but somewhat hectic. I'll write more later... I just want everyone to know that we are on the road home. I have a mixed bag of remaining symptoms, but nothing significant that it's even worth discussing in terms of success or not... some things we won't know until all the post surgery symptoms are over. I can't believe that I can now stand steady on either foot... I was so unbalanced (physically...mental status is a whole nuther book) before the surgery... er... I couldn't stand on one foot... kind of had to sneak up on my underwear inorder to put a leg in.

Wish me luck on the flight... sitting in economy... munich, chicago, lax

More later,

Mark
