That's great news, Bill. I'm guessing they don't serve thick, juicy burgers with cheese in rehab. Nuts and twigs on the menu, I presume? :-)
Seriously, though, I'm glad it went well

Another update: Walking a lot more now, after a short setback due to mild flu at the rehab center. Ankles and feet swollen, but manageable with care. Hope to be home soon and back in full action.

Re: Heart surgery update
I will leave the rehab center tomorrow (Friday, 5/26) and go home. They say I've made remarkable progress considering my surgery was just the 28th of last month. Be nice to get home and dive back into writing.

Re: Heart surgery update
Had yet another visit to the hospital two weeks ago. While in the rehab facility following the bypass, I caught some sort of crud going around. It filled my lungs and caused me to head for the ER with lights and siren. I couldn't breathe and it was all attributed to "congestive heart failure." I don't remember a complete 24-hour period, but I woke up with a tube down my lungs for another day and a half. Doc says the first responders saved my life. Now I'm happy I always voted more money for them every election.
