The BIG NEWS is the all-important Rich-gut is working again, and so all of the news from the hospital is great, and things continue to improve.   Rich is eating real food again, and while there is some pain associated with the recent surgery, he's not one to complain and for the most part he's off the heavy meds.   Jeannette is there throughout most of the days and into the evenings, and Rich tries to take care of her and she is trying to take care of him.   Everything seems to be going right along the planned path as the doctor laid it out prior to doing the surgery, and the two of them seem to me to be taking this round of hospital stays in stride.   What's another night or two in the hospital?   -  John
