Hi Stonewall_Boris, Thanks for your reply. That is sort of what I expected. I really wish I felt well enough to do some site seeing when I arrived in Europe before surgery but, I feel pretty bad most days here in the U.S. so, I can't anticipate feeling any better in Europe. If I go, I'll have to fly business class, take drugs and hope I can sleep all the way there. I think I'll have to plan for the worst and hope for the best. Since my condition has been going on for such a long time, it will probably take time for the nerves and body to heal from such a dramatic change.
