Yay, Shaun! Sounds like you are on the right track but take it easy. Better to take it easy rather than push yourself and end up two steps backwards, you know?
And if you ever get out here, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to meet you. I hear you design kid's clothing. I have two boys. What is your line called? I need to google.
Keep us updated on your recovery! Big ginormous hugs!!!
