Thanks, All, for the good wishes!
PROBLEM IS--the surgery was delayed AGAIN!
The surgeon is going on sabbatical now, but had an emergency just before the operation. I was all prepared--with bracelet and everything, but now it will be more time and more blood drained before I can finally get some relief.
AS teaches patience. Oh well.
Thanks again to all who responded, and I will hopefully have another update sooner than later!
Health to everyone,
John
