I Survived Surgery!

Thought I would send out a quick update as to how my recovery process
is going (just in case you're not checking my twitter.com/peterrobards
updates
).

I got through surgery with no problem. Was woken up 24 hours earlier
than is normal cause I was doing so well & released from ICU in only
24 hours.

Been able to stand & walk since first day & everything is healing fine.

Everyone says so far I'm recovering surprisingly quickly and should be
on track to leave the hospital on Wednesday.

Have even been able to breathe around my trache tube, swallow, and
kind of talk... stuff that they say normally takes weeks.

So far, while I definitely can't say this has been fun (you know
besides the drugs which are awesome - especially mixed
), it has gone
better than I thought. Don't get me wrong, there have been a few
terrible moments, but they were mostly due to incompetence. All in all
I'm doing well, getting better every day, and should be out of the
hospital in 3 days (or less).



PS. You have no idea how hard it is to compose a coherent letter on
drugs this strong... Real Hard & time consuming, Yippee!
