Aloha!!!! Pat, I am so happy to hear you are doing well after surgery and out of the ICU. Trust me! When I came out of ICU, I started to feel more and more human! By the time you go home, you will feel even that much better. Know that as each day passes, you will feel better and better. Be the best loser you can be!! Many hugs, Kathie (in Hawaii)...
