you should be ok. unfortunately i got pneumonia and Fluid in my lung after surgery which can happen sometimes. so im technically just now starting to feel better. i had to spend two week long stays in the hospital for it. but i can say the pain from the actually surgery was def gone after a week. the pneumonia was more painful rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 213/ gw 140
