As my Doc said after I had my second hip replacement, which was much easier then the first, "Effective pain control is the secret of a good outcome"
That's doctor speak for TAKE THE MEDS WOMAN!
Kendall if you want a new vocal exercise when Jacqui comes home try shouting !Stand up straight woman'
That should get you a couple more days in the cellar.
Giok

Get well soon Jacqui!
