Thanks Pete!!
Sofa, so good.
As of this hour I'm 7 days post op, haven't blown out anything, weened off the serious meds a day early and feeling stronger each day.
Instructions are "resume normal activities as tolerated" sounds like a challenge and I've consistently found the "not tolerable" point daily.
After I listed my "normal" activities he put the kibosh on all 2 wheeled adventures and kayaks, and blah blah blah- Basically no exercise other than walking.
Walking it is then.
Bigfoot?
Absolutely, size 12 feet, well over 6'
There were other sightings
Colonial Peak with it's summit obscured and Pyramid Peak always look amazing with first snow, so clean and fresh.
They promise water for future fun.
Sooo lucky out here in many ways... WF smoke has not impacted us yet this year, and we got a very decent snowpack so lakes, reservoirs and such on the west side are in great shape. Wish that was true for my southern neighbors!
