Hey, thanks for the warm welcome-back! Yes, permission to get back in the saddle is a good incentive to heal fast. I still don't understand, though, why I had to wait three weeks. I felt just fine three days after the surgery

Strange, though, that doing work in the house still feels very hard to do. Ugh, the pain!
