Tom

I have Mary and so many people to thank for prayers and good thoughts that are coming our way as Tom has gone through surgery and now recovery. We pretty much fell into a pot of good luck in terms of medical professionals. We have both felt in good hands as Tom made his way through diagnostics, surgery and now recovery. Nonetheless, this has been a bumpy road to travel and it's a long road to recovery.

This morning Tom has been up for a walk, he looks and sounds stronger, he has been a good patient. He is still here with me and he's coming home soon, in a few days!

Thanks and hugs to all of you,

PS: Here is a link that I think somewhat explains what was going on. A completely blocked artery from groin to below the knee required the bypass procedure that was used. This condition is more common in men than women. Symptoms to know about and to seriously pay attention to.
