Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 To be more explicit, weren't you using it as a verb? If so, you should use affect. Marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 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 --- joannelpo121 <jtpeterson@...> wrote: > Hi everyone, I know this subject has come up many > times but my mind > seems to be forgetful on the subject.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 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.
