Thank you for your thoughts. I made it successfully though the surgery. I feel weak but glad it is over. I cannot lift for a week or strenuous exercise, because I am a runner.
Rest is difficult for the busy person.
Love to you all for thinking about me. God Bless and I will keep you in my prayers. Howard, the former University of Illinois star, suffered a compound fracture in a finger in the preseason finale against New Orleans and was placed on IR on Aug. 24. Howard spent 1995 with the St. Louis Rams and was signed by the Bears last November, playing mostly on special teams in three games. He was the 1994 winner of the Butkus Award as the nation's top collegiate linebacker and left Illinois as the career leader in tackles in the Big Ten with 536.
