Hi Kent,

You went through surgery the day before me so I am right there with you with recovery and can relate to most of what you said. My surgery was the same length as yours but I was in the hospital longer. Also am still on liquids, but you know, to each their own! I definitely agree that the swelling is the part that gets the most in the way. I keep asking for ibuprofen but so far that's a no go smile.

Hope you are doing even better now! Good luck with everything.
