Hey old man you still listening to the wife... Glad to see you up and about. It's starting to get colder up there so no snow shovels ok. Ok I am sure it is getting old by now but we badger you out of concern so take care of yourself and I will see you on the threads.
I am doing much better and yes, I've been listening to the wife as best as I humanly can (or to the best Jack is able to at least). I was cleared on Wednesday to be free of the foul smelling, sweat collecting neck bumper and floatation device and it only took me 3 m/s to unvelcro it and toss it into the trash can and announce my FREEDOM from it in a loud voice!
I, however, am still very much tender back there and the muscles have certainly not finished knitting together... I may not be off the painkillers quite yet, but I've greatly reduced my intake of them and can somewhat now think clearly or hold a though for longer than only a couple of minutes... still have Physical Therapy to do, that is going to be fun (NOT) and honestly haven't done much of anything except try to work in Daz and sit in a recliner a lot.
Sadly, I haven't even played any of my games much (Baldur's Gate 3 or Starfield), I think I only played BG3 once since my surgery and refuse to play Starfield until the Creation Kit for it comes out (I am not stupid, won't listen to the hype, it is a Bethesda game after all and still remember Fallout76 well enough to know better).
In short, been focusing on getting better with Daz Studio, thanks to the many creators on Twitter who've been teaching me some great things and have been working to build up a follower count that will help us when it comes time to request people to wishlist our game on Steam... but, honestly, have been doing my best to listen to the doctor and the wife (and you all as well)... I can't keep having major surgery every year like I've been having for the last 3 years... my body can't handle it, my wife can't handle it, our patrons and fans can't handle it and, honestly, I can't handle it mentally either... nor can my wallet.
But, yeah, getting better and doing my best to OBEY.
Sierra is also doing better, been a few days since I've talked to him, but he's been home now for a week and getting used to things after his surgery... I will wait for him to decide how much he wants to share about it, but I can say that right now the doctors are saying that he is CANCER FREE!! But, please, keep in in your mind and thoughts, his road to recovery is much further to achieve than my own.
