Hello from Tom (Not dead yet!)

I am emerging from this medical nightmare.  My strength is much better (I'm writing this note, something I couldn't have done a day ago), spend more time out of bed than in it, and instead of struggling to make four circuits around the "Huntsman Highway" have already made the walk seven times today.  I get myself out of bed, and am able to walk without assistance.  Basically I am now in a waiting game, waiting for the leak to close so I can go home.  The current strategy is to have my catheter connected to a vacuum, the theory being that will encourage urine to flow in its normal route rather than through the leak.  How long?  The doctor said two more days minimum.

For the record...being able to watch endless movies, Twilight Zone re-runs and football games gets old fast!

Ruth Ann just walked in and the room has brightened!  Thanks to all of you for your love, prayers, and concern.

Love,

Tom
