I was planning to call during the late afternoon, but I see I would have missed you, with the time difference. (My kiddo called to say she was coming down, so I ended up racing around to get dinner stuff in place.)

You have my number--I'd like to hear how things went. It sounds like you're well on the mend. There will be times when things hurt for a while, that's part of the process, but I think after a couple of days at home I was getting by with ibuprofen (my sister and I have compared notes about this kind of surgery--there seems to be a high pain threshold in the family--so your mileage may vary).
