I am so sorry about all your ongoing issues Wayne.
In your place I would do exactly the same� enjoy the holiday (and new grandbaby) and put this in the too hard basket for a few weeks.
You know better than anyone that coming here to rant is good medicine and guaranteed to make you feel better.
Please come back often for the support of the OCF family and keep us posted on the surgery.
Love
Gabriele
