Thanks folks. I'm recovering from the tonsillectomy, and the cyst/tumor removal. I went mostly tylenol free today. I guess the pain I went through was just a preview of things to come.

Ben, thank you the link to your blog. I somehow managed to laugh, and almost spit up on my monitor a few times. You sound like me, a bit.

After mowing the lawn, and drinking my first cup of iced coffee in the last 2 weeks, I feel great. I'm on-call for work, and I'm stuck in front of the computer working on some stuff remotely, and that's taking my mind off of things too.

Going to investigate TORS. I'm afraid that if I use the RT card the first time, I won't have it available if I have a recurrence frown
