Re: Rather silly 'is this ok after surgery' question/advice

[Guest guest]

Hiya Cori,

I have no idea how long you should wait to ride a rollercoaster all I

know is that I have a boat the I take out on the pacific ocean and

the ride I get in that can be akin to a rollercoaster at times and I

plan on going out in that ASAP like two weeks time and I had my op

two weeks ago tomorrow.

You really should ask your OS though, get your money's worth out of

them *wink*.

Cheers

Phil
