Just wanted to drop by and say a quick hello to let you all know that I made it through surgery ok and am now home. Thank you to everyone that kept me in their thoughts and prayers. 
You are all very sweet and kind.
I am in quite a bit of pain and discomfort and the reality of just what I have ahead of me in terms of recovery is hitting. I’ll need about 6 weeks to recover from the surgery itself and it will be a couple of months after that to then hopefully receive therapeutic benefit from the procedure. I will hopefully be able to regain some normal activity before that point. Spanking activity is still very much up in the air, but I’m putting any question of that very much on the back burner. For now I just need to focus on the very basics such as being able to regain the ability to eat and walk and things like that. However, just because I can’t play, doesn’t mean I have to sit quietly on the sidelines. I still hold true to my promise to blog on topic in the meantime very soon. Just wanted to give this little health update to let all know that I’m still here and intend to kick some health recovery @$$.
