Re: Re: Heller Op on Friday

[Guest guest]

Hi Hermant

Back at home now, i was only in for one night, but I was operated on first thing

Friday morning.

Be prepared to eat soft food. If your anything like me, your swallowing will be

worse after the op. (This is supposed to get better with time)

Best of luck for your op tomorrow.

Regards

Phil
