I've been meaning to email you to see how your wife's doing...and now this.

I think you can come back OK. Being in pretty good condition to begin with probably gives you some advantage there. I have no medical knowledge beyond applying a band-aid, but I would guess that "pacing" your recovery might be important. That is, doing enough but not too much too soon. Typing is probably enough for now I'm sure the physical therapy folks will help there.

It's scary to think how much worse this could have been. We're glad you're still around. Keep us up to date.
