Thank you all for the well wishes. It has taken me a while to recover but finally picked up the guitar yesterday and played for about 30 minutes, and felt good - a little stiff but better than prior to the surgery.
So now on to the funny...
After my surgery, as I was coming out of the haze of the anesthesia they brought my wonderful wife back to see me and as I looked into her beautiful eyes she smiled, pulled out her phone and says..."gimme 2 thumbs up for the camera!"...... yes this is my wife gotta love her lol
