Dear Listmembers, Moira and I are back from Loma Linda and we are both suffering from jet lag and lack of sleep -- the flight was an overnighter. It will take us several days to get back on track. Thanks to everyone for the good wishes and prayers on this very dramatic event in our lives. And thanks to Alan for reporting Moira's progress. The surgery was highly successful -- described as A+ by Dr. Iacono and his associates. Certainly, on the basis of the four days after Moira left the hospital (about 19 hours after surgery!), it has been an amazing and remarkable success. Over the past few days Moira's "offs" have been difficult to spot -- she has no deep rigidity, no unvoluntary movement, etc. On the spur of the moment, we decided to see a bit of Southern California by spending three days in Palm Springs, Friday through Sunday, in 100 degree heat and brilliant sun. On Sunday we drove through the San Jacinto Mountains on our way back to L.A. where we walked in the surf at Mailibu before going to the airport. In time, we will try to post some reflections on the surgery and the results. Regards and much affection to everyone, Moira and Peter ========================================= Peter J.
