Back in the house

I have finally made it back. The surgery went well, but was hit with a side effect as a result of being on the bypass machine, called pancretitus. That shuts the bowls down and backs the plumbing up. It kept me in the hospital a week longer than it should have.

I have some nerve damage on my left arm and hand that makes typing more of a chore.

Thanks for all of your prayers and well wishes.

John

Good news John!

Maybe the nerve damage will repair itself. I suffer from repeated damage, a malady called "pressure palsy" and parts of me go numb or loose strength for months. Fortunately most of the time the feeling comes back, unfortunately never quite 100%, more like 80%. It has afflicted my brain many times...
