The surgery is no big deal since I have been through it before and know what to expect.. Just curious what the other is like.. 
I hope that everyone is having a good day and that everyone is comfortable and having a low pain day..
((Hugs))

Dawn, that is true that the graft site is more painful than the neck however, my Dr had me up adn walking hours after surgery. He told me that exercise eliviates the pain quicker and after about 3 days the pain pretty much so vanished. Unfortunately this Dr does not practice medicine anymore, last I heard he was teaching at the U of P .
Unto all passing by, my wishes for a good day!
