I had one of my Knee's replaced last Friday and asked my wife to bring my Soprano to the Hospital when she came to visit. I guess I wasn't too surprised to find out that it took my mind off the pain.
What I was surprised at were the number of hospital staff and patients who would drop by and listen and express a word of thanks. Time passes slowly when you're in a hospital so I guess any break from routine is welcome.
As you can see from my expression I had been pushing that pain relief delivery system button a lot in the past 12 hours.
