"Not quite the minor outpatient procedure that they make it out to be"

Thank you all for your good wishes. The entry wasn't me, alas: I might have felt less bloody-minded if I'd had a laptop and internet access. I called my sister and asked her to post for me, thinking that she'd say This is Jeanne's sister and etc. However. Am home now with apparently fully expanded lung and a couple of holes in me from this and that.

( Have I ever told you about my operation? )
