Thanks everyone! I just found out about this thread today, and I'm really touched by all your well-wishes. Recovery is coming along, feeling a little better each day. Actually got to sleep on my side instead of my back last night - what a relief! Still very sore, but getting up & down is the only really painful time. Hoping to go outside and sit on the deck in the sun today. At least I can sit at the computer for short periods, and enjoy all you PTers' company! Thanks again for your prayers & thoughts.
