That's incredible ! You found a way to be on your blog even from a hospital bed !

It is reassuring to see you in the flesh, and I notice that children are admitted in canadian hospitals, which is not the case here (except for brothers and sisters of the new born in maternities).

Nice to see your daughters laugh, and hoping for good health reports soon !

"Hi" from Paris.
 

Awesome! It's great to see you and hear your voice. And I LOVE the giggles.

You're amazing
 

For someone one day status post major surgery, you look terrific, Derek. Sound great too!
 

Man, I heard some good healing giggles in that. Make sure you get more!

Take care.

You look and sound great, Derek! Hope you're out soon...thinking about you and your family daily.
 

Hooray for happy hospital rooms! :)

Nice to see you, fun to hear the giggles!
 

Boy, it's a relief to see you in good spirits...thanks for the video, Derek!

Best wishes from Dennis, Johann and Matthew!
 

Wow. Looking at myself I can't believe I appeared that chipper and with it one day after the operation. I was putting on a bit of a brave face, of course, and after this frame immediately slept.

I'm doing okay now, six days after that and following some setbacks, but still, I think don't quite match up to the spunk in that video even today. Soon, though!
