Hi HaroldS! Sorry to hear about the surgeries but happy for you (and us) that you're up and about and getting healthy!
Congrats on that monster! When you feel up to it, maybe you can share care and feeding...or at least the exposure. Shade, morning sunlight, West/East/North... not South?
You are so fortunate this plant took off for you! I wonder if a little neglect is good for abundance? Like Bougainvillea?
Take good care of yourself!
