First off:[rant] Thanks to the miracles of modern medical insurance, I am back a week (or maybe two) earlier than I (or my surgeon) expected!

So, here I am 50 Km from the nearest hospital (by helicopter!) with a home health care nurse who will check on me once or twice a week. I could go on about the problems with the health care system of the "richest nation on Earth", but getting banned is not my intent, so I'll [end rant].
