Well....of course, I have pain....not horrible but painful (duh). Dick looks like it's been beat to shit! Staff at hospital has been great. This is a mostly Spanish speaking hospital, but most have pretty good English. I enjoy trying my "pigeon Spanish" but most answer me in English.

Dr Perito said all went well and I'm 'longer, fatter and stronger'....I realize that it can't gain much so we'll see.

Anyhow. ...I'm expecting "a night of hell".....and hoping to be disappointed. ...

Can't wait to get "Back In The Saddle Again"....L

The first 24 hours was the worse for me. I only had moderate pain that was well controlled with Percocet 5/325mg every 6 hours while I was in the hospital. I only needed to take a Percocet at night for two days after I went home. I found the pain was not that bad as long I a remained laying down. I took it easy and laid on the couch for seven days and did great. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
