I don’t know if i had a severe case, but i went into the ER and i was in surgery no more than 2 hours later.

The crazy thing is i couldn’t sleep and my wife was out of town, so i drove myself to the ER at like 11 pm. When i finally came to it was the late morning and my mom had driven the 4 hours to be with me until my wife got back. That was a crazy time.

I had a terrible recovery also but it sounds like you take the cake. Wishing you well.
