Wow, congrats, you are doing great! You should be the poster person for this surgery. You are definitely one of the fastest recovery stories I'v heard of.

Congratulations Debi! I believe you said you had the surgery at Shands. Who was your surgeon?

Debi ~

At this point, all I can add is my personal congratulations and admiration on your excellent recovery.  Resumption of driving is a major milestone.  Well done!  :)
