Re[2]: recovery from 1st op

May 11, 2006

Thanks and for your help. Sounds like it shouldn't

be too much of a problem then. I'll speak to the hospital again and

find out when he would have his check up after the op.

Thanks!

for travel just a couple of days after surgery. I would imagine it just depends

on the job your surgeon does and on how
