I'm up and working (and resting) at home spent all day at the office today. The second surgery was scheduled last week, but the surgeon decided to postpone it a week to give me a chance to come back. Which I have done. Feeling close to normal, no pain at all. Just some initial difficulty swallowing which he says is a common reaction to anterior surgery. The second surgery, through the back, is tomorrow. The good news - if am to believe the post-op X-rays and catscans, and disregard how I felt (and especially how I looked) - the first operation appears to have been successful. Patrick O'Leary, the surgeon, is highly competent. The bad news - well, there isn't any unless you want to talk about "the bad days", and I have a few of those coming up this week, and then, hopefully, I can get out of medical mode and move on. Thanks for your support. Max can keep you posted: Cheers, JB Mobil EFTA00908052
