Susan,

I couldn't imagine sitting for that long in the plane, waiting... waiting... waiting. Being a fearful flyer, I would have wanted to get off! After my surgery we too were in business class. I couldn't imagine trying to get out of my seat to go to the bathroom if we weren't. But glad you made it home in one piece and none the worse for wear.

It sounds like your numbness and muscle aches are just a normal byproduct of the surgery and should resolve themselves in a few weeks or so. Please just remember that your walking, walking, walking should be in short bursts, however frequent, not long marathons. Taking it slow and easy should be your current mantra.

Maria, never thought about buying 3 seats. Even 2 might work!

Susan, I hope your recovery is uncomplicated and I wish you well. Keep us posted, Dale
