Thank you, @gillianpearce.

My wife is out of surgery and all seems to have gone well. Apparently, the surgeon found two other smaller hernias when she was in there fixing the main one. So, I think it took a little longer than planned, but we've been home now for close to an hour and she's in bed resting, I think. She hasn't called me, anyway. She's a hard one to keep off her feet for any great length of time.

It sounds like you'll have plenty of reason to be away from STEEM this week, and hopefully it will be rejuvenating and good company. Enjoy!
