What you said makes total sense. I guess I just feel like I'm alone
when it seems like alot of the stuff I read people were going back to
work right away and stuff. I am a singer and I sang at a two hour
Christmas gig 8 days after surgery and though I did make it through, I
thought I was gonna die that evening and the day after! I had not
thought about the breath support that I would need. It's not unbearable
pain, but it is everyday and a heating pad helps. Thanks for the
validation! Thanks to everyone who responded so far!
