Isn't it amazing??? I got that garbage when I was out with my neck surgery AND when I took emergency leave to be with DH during his cancer surgery several years earlier. He had stage 3-4 cancer, one week in ICU with a blood clot in the lung, MRSA infection, dehydration and hernia surgery (to repair the tear in his abdomen from throwing up during chemo.) I even had a faculty member complain that, "Kim wasn't around much this year..." Talk about bite me! What happened to compassion?

Regarding ibuprophen - I was told to lay off that & my lupus meds for several weeks before surgery because it would hinder healing. But afterwards, I was given the OK. Everything knitted up just fine.
