    Tammy,
    Continued good wishes for you as you begin recovery!

    Rita,
    Don't worry about not being able to post. I'm not sure I still fire on all cylinders according to my husband! It took me a long time before I was able to sit at a computer. Glad to hear you are going home soon. Be sure to take it slow and easy going home. You will need lots of breaks at least every couple hours to walk around a bit. I always thought I was fine and didn't want to get out but then standing is hard. You tend to stiffen up just sitting. Good luck!
