JOE

Just a quick update on Joe. He had a successful hip replacement surgery on Tuesday the 26th and amazingly went home the next day. Because he's so young and healthy his recovery is considered "fast track." He's doing really well with physical therapy and is able to get from the armchair or bed to the bathroom on his own, which is what I was most worried about since I can't help him around too much by myself. But with the walker, he does well. The hardest part at the moment might actually be the headaches and dizziness he's getting...probably a combination of the spinal anesthetic still wearing off, and the pain meds he's on.

We are very appreciative for all the get well notes and care packages that have been sent. And Joe and I both really appreciate your prayers.
