So sorry I'm so late in seeing your surgery post but anyhow, glad to hear you're OK! I'm nobody, just a newjack, you don't know me. But I've had a few surgeries: a hernia, not too bad; a rotator cuff, tough post-surgery (3) months & a fractured wrist w/ rod implanted so I can relate a little. So best of luck to you & may you be the only one using a knife around you henceforth!
