Thank you everyone....lol, no golf tomorrow David! I have to be ready to make the road trip to NC to watch Philly VS Carolina opening day on sept.13th! I figure I have 26 days to get my body ready for that trip! Hoping to go back to work full time Oct. 1st! They far from took it easy on me thats for sure. My mouth is 1 gigantic sore, I cant talk and when I do you can hardly understand me, I gag and choke all night, can barely eat and drink to the point that it hurts so bad my eyes water but I force it down and move on! Thank God for Percocets...that of course I have to crush up and mix with water to take! Just looking forward to some sort of normalcy soon. Just being able to swallow, eat and drink without it hurting so bad will be a huge improvement! We see how this goes! I know usually by sunday after having 2 days off I am feeling better and just the fact that I know I dont have to have that gag shoved down my throat and have to get dressed, showered and drive 45 mins is a relief in its own right there! Will keep you all posted!
