Thanks for the well wishes.
It seems the Japanese really exaggerate when it comes to your health. I guess when your people are your only true resource being extra precautions is important.
The staff really made it pleasant. It was such a relief when they started cracking jokes and laughing. It was a needed ice breaker.
I know it was a rather simple procedure, but as we get older our clocks are on the downslope and anything trivial can turn into something serious. Gotta YOLO everyday.
