Great meeting seer_eridanus . We had lunch at Starved Rock and coffee at the cafe there also. I love Starved Rock, and Eri is so fab and fun.

It's been 28 days since my surgery. I could tell by the moon last night. I'm to the point now where there are just small issues, occasional twinges of pain and discomfort, and some details I'm sure you'd rather I not go into. But all in all I'm doing well. There are other issues resulting from this operation that I still need to work through, but I feel that in time all of that will return to normal...
