Ron,
I'm glad that you came through the operation and that you seem to be recooperating well. Did your doctors warn you or put any kind of restrictions on you about shooting large guns? I think you should just take it easy for awhile, I say this because of what I have been through myself with several surgeries. Don't rush the healing process, you don't want to wind up back in the hospital because something let go that wasn't healed completely. Best Wishes, Bob
