@Jessica Dear Jess:I read some of the details on the thread of
@liz K today about your 4th day of recovery ... I see that you have mostly been able to keep quiet per your doctor's orders... but you did admit to slipping up to greet your son with a (hopefully soft spoken) "hello" ... I trust that it was not painful and I hope that it will not cause any issues with your ongoing recovery.
For me, I would have great difficulty being quiet even for a brief length of time....
...as you know from my plethora of postings here on the forums, I am a talker so I would have to have some Duct Tape over my mouth to keep me quiet.

I am so glad that your recovery is going well and that you are back on the Forums doing your thing...
...for sure we all enjoy your cheerful and helpful presence here.Hugs and continued well wishes for you...
Danielle
