Jim..

I usually go the CHP limit as opposed to the posted limit. However, every

time I came across 46 I either ran into the fog or a drilling rig being

hauled down the middle of the road or some farmer pulling a hay wagon.

Tends to slow things down a bit, sort of like a DSer who is " backed up. "

Effect means to cause to come about, it is one of my pet peeves.

Then I must drive you nuts...It's one of my mental blocks...I debate

which one to use everytime, then just guess....I have several

spelling/language mental blocks.

Hi everyone, I know this subject has come up many times but my mind

seems to be forgetful on the subject. I seem to remeber hearing a vast

array of answers on when it would be o.k. to fly fter surgery...some

say a few weeks and others up to a few months..is it maybe just

dependent on exactly what they do or find during the surgery? Thanks

for the info.

Joanne,

It can vary for each individual based on extent of

surgery, progress of healing and of course the

surgeon's preference.

Although my surgery was minimal and my healing was

very quick, my surgeon was still very conservative and

did not want me on a plane until my final 3 month post

op appointment.

I've known others who were given the ok to fly a few

weeks after surgery and had no issues so it's hard to

generalize for all.

Personally if you don't have to fly right away then I

wouldn't just to give it as much time as possible to

heal.

Hope that helps,

Pamela

Joanne,

My 19-year-old son flew across the country last weekend, then home

again (4 different planes), 6 weeks after his surgery. He did great.

He took Sudafed and chewed gum, and this might have helped. (no way

to know for sure) But he said he never had any pain or problems.
