I wish you a speedy recovery and someone/anyone at your beck and call to really allow you to recoup!

Thanks for letting us know Hatbox.....wishing you a fast recovery.

The after effects of surgery are no fun! My last surgery was a tubal ligation. I hated that cotten-mouth and sore throat from the tubes.

Heres hoping it passes quickly!
