    I'm Back - One year and still chugging!

    Hi All,

    I guess you thought I had disappeared forever but I am still around. It has been one year since the surgery and life is incredible. I am still exercising 5 days per week and have lots of energy. Finding the right doctors, the right clinic, and the right people (all of you on this board) made all the difference in the world. Thanks to all.

    Around May through July, I was involved in a large work related project which took a lot of my time and I was visiting the forum less and less. After that we took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park and had a great time. Inclines and steps did not seem to be much of a problem.

    On December 8, I go back to CCF for my one year check-up. I am looking forward to a good report. Will report the results.
