COMMENTS:
Andrew reported that Rose was chatty last night, but other than that she did well.  Rose was up, dressed and finished with breakfast by the time we got our first text at 11 AM saying Dr. Vesper was out of surgery and back in his room at 11a and reading the newspaper 4 hours later, obviously all went well.  From all reports Dr. Vesper is a new man, such good news.  Rose and I had an uneventful day, went to our usual routine and was in bed around 9 PM.
