Back in full swing

We are now almost two months post-surgery. This is supposed to be a good thing according to the hospital. They find most complications and rejections come in the first two months after the surgery. So we feel fortunate that we have survived everything (knock on wood). It definitely didnt come without some trials and tribulations. After we got back to Maui I was feeling good and thought that all was good. Soon after I was checked into the hospital in Maui for dehydration and because I had a cyst in my knee that was causing some complicatons. So back I went to the hospital but this one had a great ocean view. Its harder to like the ocean view when you cant be in the ocean. After two nights spent there I checked out full of fluids and feeling a bit better. I had the cyst drained and was given a shot of cortisone which so far has done the trick.

One Wednesday I returned to work and have had a very good energy level to do all the things I want to. For the first time in a few years I feel completely healthy and feel like I can do anything that I used to do. Its amazing how good it feels and how sick I felt even though I didnt know I was sick. I have said it before but I really appreciate being able to do simple things like climb multiple flights of stairs, swim, work a full day at the office. These are things that were a challenge for me last November.

Again, we really appreciate all the support and love that we have received from our friends and family. There have been so many people that have done so many nice things for us we have no way to even think of how to repay people. We cant believe the love. I hope everyone had a better start to your year than I have but I challenge anyone to have a better rest of the year than I am going to have. Hope to see everyone that I havent seen back in Maui very soon. Aloha.
