Thanks Eben -
I don't know about 2 weeks, I may actually find that I've made a remarkable recovery by late Friday, and really don't see any reason why I couldn't go out for trout on Saturday.
In fact, I just might try Aiden's for lunch tomorrow and see if a corned beef on rye helps. A Black and Tan is really just an Irish analgesic anyway.

Thanks, Joe - great idea!
