Good morning all!? Thank everyone for all the good wishes.? I am happy to report that my cardiac surgery went VERY well.? ?I am up and about.? I am walking as directed and am feeling great, obviously tender in locations; but, over-all "well," better than the medical team and I expected.? I remain amazed with how your chest, and heart, can be cut open and one week later be this far improved.

I hesitate to say "yes" to the dinner gathering until I meet with the physicians first of next week.? Post the visit? with them, I can definitively convey my attendance ability.? I am able. at present, to inform those concerned with head-count that I would be by myself if I am "cleared" to attend.? I am anxious to bet back in the air, however, being "clear to drive" must come first.? I will most likely request Mark to fly with me on at-least the first flight, or two,, once I am cleared to go.??

Mike, thank you for your posts, I have read some interesting information contained in the links.? For me, being directed to "take it easy" is a form of torture with-in itself as my usual dynamic self remains consantly on the go in attempt to keep up with my obligations.? The newly required, more sedintary life-style, has afforded me the ability to do more sit-n-read type of things so there is ALWAYS a positive.

All stay well and I hope that you all have a joyous holiday season.

Sincerely,

Ron
