for Dave Britten--get well soon

[Dave Britten]

Thanks everyone! I wrote/posted it a couple days pre-op, and I'm happy to say the surgery went extremely well. Despite the obvious abdominal pain, I'm feeling surprisingly good - both physically and mentally. Hoping to be up and on my feet a bit later today.

As an aside, there's no way I could have pulled through as well as I have without my wonderful wife picking me back up when I'm feeling down. And Dr. Tracy Hull is pretty much the best colorectal surgeon on the planet, as far as I'm concerned.

Anybody else at Cleveland Clinic right now and want to hang out to swap stories/programs later?
