Thought I might fill you in on why I haven't posted reviews. I had arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder Wed. morning. Afterward they gave me a nerve block. Everything was going well and we came home midafternoon.
Then all Hell broke lose that evening. My airway began to swell shut. I was truly frightened as we raced back to the ER. With oxygen through a nasal cannula and a breathing treatment I got a little more comfortable. More tests and a powwow of ENT doc, anesthesiologist, hospitalist, etc. followed. They decided it was the nerve block at fault so they kept me for 24 hr observation. The block wore off Thurs. morning.
My throat is sore, I have Thrush from regular use of my inhalers for COPD, and a sling. Also my ribs feel like I've been mugged. I just remembered, wasn't Thrush the evil organization in The Man from U.N.C.L.E.? That explains a lot! :D
I should be able to read this afternoon.

Oh how scary! Take care of yourself and watch that thrush - be sure to force fluids.
