IC, I've just been reminded by the wife - the reason I was off for 3 months was due to complications arising from the op. The surgeon nicked my thoracic cavity on sewing up and gave me a right lung pneumothorax. It was this that took the time to heal and prevented me from flying.
Cheers, nurj.
Keep us posted on your sitch.
