This Guy

We can all breathe again.  The surgery was merely six hours long and was a success.  Now the clock ticks as we wait for the 7-10 day recovery period.

Then this guy can:

eat
shower (yes, no shower since March)
walk freely
lay on his side and sleep
pick up his kids
drive

Basically all the stuff that we take for granted every day.

Thanks everyone for the positive thoughts!
