A quick update to let you know that Cliff lived through the night and is back in this world with us. Last evening he felt well enough to make a couple of eggs for his supper.

Cliff did PT a few times for back discomfort due to belly pulling on his back muscles. After the PT a patient get a free month at the gym. We did Zumba and yoga classes together.
