Thanks for sharing jss. I suppose if I have a miraculous recovery, I'll have to consider that a true gift. I kept hoping after my last round of surgeries that I would wake up from one and feel better but, that didn't happen. The first few days on drugs are okay but, then the healing and swelling from the surgery kick in and it's all downhill from there. There are no crystal balls and it is major surgery so, it will be what it will be.
