Thanks to sns, Big Tex, and blondie for your words of kindness and good wishes.
My partner was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. The surgery was a success. I'm just grateful that the blood clots never moved out of the leg and into a vital organ, or it could have been much worse.
Since he's home now, I'll probably be more regular on the board again, but right now I am thoroughly exhausted.....
Good night......
