My goodness, Tod,  You're still in the ICU and you're sending us emails from the ICU!!!  You ARE a super guy and a survivor...
God Bless You and keep up the healing.
Let us know when you get on to solid food like steak and potatoes.

Hi Tod

So good to hear from you  :).  I didn't realize that you were still in ICU but not surprised after such an ordeal.  It's a good sign that you are able to post.  You are now 13 days post opp  ;D

Rest and heal we are blessed to have you here!

Saturday, 16 days post op.
I too am truly amazed how you are able to correspond with your lap top in the ICU after a 32 hour surgery.  Sounds like the brain is intact, except wondering if the swallowing issues are related to stroke during surgery? Keep up the small steps to a full recovery. You will have quite the story to tell when all is said and done. Are you keeping a simple journal on your lap top through all this?
Amazing - keep it up, send more info when you can.
