It's surgery

[Dawn E Foster]

Welcome home!!!

[Rob Wick]

Now might be a good time to invest in pharmaceutical products. My pill planner will barely hold all the drugs I'm taking.

Thanks everyone. I'm definitely a lucky man.

Rob,

I hope your being home and in familiar surroundings has been a tonic for you. Have you been up-and-about or are you required to be more sedentary for now--or a combination of both?

During recovery I hope you will be able to gradually and then increasingly resume your work on Ida Tarbell. You continue to be in my prayers.

Joe

Thanks Joe.

Cheryl and I started walking yesterday. Down the sidewalk on our block and back is about the length of a football field. I'm not setting any land speed records but it's definitely giving me a good workout. They want me to start cardio rehab therapy but how soon I'm not sure, but once started that will be three days a week.

I've been going through the remaining Lincoln-related documents of Tarbell, but I've got to figure out the best way to approach things. I've got such a mass of material that it's going to take me a few weeks just to collect and collate it into the proper files. I really don't like sitting at my desk as much as I do my recliner, but all my material is in the office. I've got to take advantage of this forced holiday, however, in some meaningful way.

Thanks again. I realize how fortunate I am both in health and in the number of friends I have in the Lincoln community.

Today marks yet another milestone in my recovery. My cardiac rehab is officially over, and with it is the last medical procedure related to this episode. While I still have to maintain my diet and keep my blood sugar in acceptable levels, I no longer am under "constant surveillance."

It's been an interesting few months and has definitely brought about some new things in my life. I turn 50 this year and while some people may not like to be reminded about their birthday I figure each one from now on is a heck of a deal.

Good news Rob!

[Gene C]

That is great Rob, glad to hear it. 50 doesn't seem to be as old as it used to be.
Looking forward to meeting you in Springfield in October (shameless plug for the "Springfield Tour")

Rob,You are a beast!

[L Verge]

Ditto to what everyone else has wished you. I have you beaten by twenty years, so I definitely agree with you on every day being important.
