Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 482 | Helen, all of my prayers and posiitive vibs are on the way. They travel at the speed of light, so they will be there before I take my fingers off the keyboard. Keep a stiff upper lip and I pray the Lord is with you and the doctor will confirm that the tenderness is just normal post-surgical results.
