I just wanted to pop in and say a quick Hi!  I am still around but was on holidays for 2 weeks and didn't get a chance to check in here.

I hope you all had a great holiday season and the new year is treating you well!

Happy New Year!  Hope you had a great holiday and vacation.  My husband and I did well food-wise and had some great times over the 2 week holiday period.

Wow! You're 3 months post-op already! It seems like just yesterday that you were heading into the OR. It's great that you could go on holiday and enjoy yourself. 

The New Year is treating me well so far. I'm down in the tropics with my fellow parrots in Nicaragua. I can hear them in the trees, but they're camouflaged so well that unless one flies off, I can't see them. In a few weeks I'm going on an evening tour of the Masaya volcano, which is active though not erupting at the moment. At dusk parrots come in to roost in holes inside the crater, despite the constant belching of toxic gases and steam. When the parrots have settled down, the bats come out of the caves (also inside the crater) in huge droves. It's supposed to be a "can't-miss" attraction if visiting Nicaragua.

Wow!  That sounds amazing!  I hope you take some photos and are willing to share.

Yes, on one hand it seems like my surgery was just last week but on another...it seems as though I've been living my life this way forever.  Funny how quickly we adapt.
