"I am, however, still reeling from your revelation that you hadn't visited a doctor since 1961! Astounding!"

I believe this had a lot to do with a fast recovery.
My body was healthy. I had never taken perscription drugs so had not built up antibodies to fight them.
I am also a believer in the power of positive thinking. Once the DR told me my lungs were clear, I was ready to think my way out of this one.

This was very easy for me, I can only wish it is as easy for all that has to go through it.

Something else you might not believe.
I have yet to take a pain pill since the operation. Not because I am brave but because there has been no real pain.
Oh yes I have pain pills just in case.
