This has turned out good. All that worry was for nothing. Took pain meds yesterday, today none. A minor discomfort is all, I've had pain, and this ain't it. Now, if I can just keep the socket from going dry. I found a cool video that appealed to me, but I'm a dog person. This is a great, inspiring story. My dogs are like my kids are, they don't pay any attention to me, lol.
