His only issues are dealing with pain meds and sleeping. He can’t really get seem to get comfortable, but he goes back to see the doctor today for a follow-up.
“Moose wants to thank everyone for the cards they sent and the phone calls. He hasn’t been up to returning many calls, but hopes to do so soon. We also want to thank everyone for all the prayers and well wishes.”
