Thanks, all!
Yup, the rumors are true, and I'm now connected (off and on) on my notebook, from my hospital room.
You wouldn't believe this Bob (Tobagotwo), but so far, it's gone faster than I imagined and hurt much less than I feared! ):I guess I'll start a new thread/post in the Post-OP section, where it belongs.
Is there a section of personal blogs here, too? I think I've seen references to it, but haven't found it yet.
