Well I just woke up (yes, it's 10.38 and I can sleep in if I want to after all I am a brain tumour survivor!) and read this and I am SOOOOO happy!  All sounds fabulous so far and dare I say it... he's rocked it's socks off!  Good luck with tomorrow Bob...tonight you'll probably be out of it!

Sue,

Glad to hear Bob's surgery went so well.  I hope you and the girls are getting some rest too.  It's harder on the family than the patient on surgery day.  We just show up and go to sleep, everyone else has the hard part of waiting and hoping things turn out well.

Give him our best wishes for a speedy recovery,
Wendy

I am a little disappointed there is no report of Bob getting back on the paddleboard yet. It's been hours now. What's taking him so long?  ;D

Glad to hear it went well. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Good morning Bob and Sue,
I'm glad that parts over. Thinking of you and praying for you today as you begin your recovery (the FUN part!!)
Take care. Thanks, Sue, for posting. All of us mom types get concerned for Bob when he's out in the depths of the ocean with whales and seals and i don't even want to think about what else. Now we're concerned about him in his recovery. I'm hoping you and your daughters can get some rest as you support him and each other in the recovery part of things.
