Rehoboth Beach, DE. Bouncing back after surgery on Thursday, I walked around the town easily. We shopped, visited Funland, and ate lunch. It was cloudy but then It all cleared up. I used some medication and had to go about sitting rather carefully wherever we were. The time shown is just an estimate of my walking time. My right leg is still weak and parts of it are still numb.

Dewey Beach, DE. Peggy drove us a (Samantha, Max, my sister Rubina, and I) up to the beach where we hung out for a while. After meeting us there and relaxing, we all walked back to the hotel.

Rehoboth Beach, DE. Back to downtown for dinner, we couldn't find a parking spot very close so eventually we ditched the van and walked a ways to Mariachi's, a Mexican restaurant that Peggy was keen on from our 2014 trip. We again went to Funland from there, and had some ice cream to top of the day. We had another longish walk back to the van after that.

I had discectomy surgery today to remove the piece of broken disc that had been pushing against my spine. Peggy sat waiting for me the whole time it was being done. The orthopedist said it all went well. I was able to walk afterward without crutches, and without right leg pain for the first time since around June 18-19th. I was wobbly. It's had to say whether that was due to the drugs I was on or just getting used to muscle control in some places again. I had fasted for the operation, no water or food from about 10pm the night before till around 8pm today and hadn't done that since I was kid. It's all a very good and positive step forward kind of feeling!
