It's been a while but I'm still here, alive and all but kicking - but I'm going through physical therapy to get me back to that point, so it's just a matter of time!  In other news, I got a follow up from my surgeon: things are looking really good on the healing, and I'll be cleared for pool therapy sooner than ya think, and then I can get to the next level of getting the body back in moving shape! :)
