I was able to leave the hospital around noon today. Baumohl arrived around four to babysit me. I don't have any significant pain in my neck. I do have a rather sore throat from the tubes they put down there. I am able to move about and I can move my head from side to side. Not supposed to move it up and down for a few weeks. I was able to cook some nice inch thick filets on the grill for dinner this evening.
