Thanks. If you get past the first day or so without it, I'm told there's only a 10% chance you'll need surgery later on and after this long that more like 1%. Though it’s a near certainty if I injure it again, pretty much all they can do for a spleen is remove the whole thing.
At any rate, "enjoy" your enforced lethargy at home as best you can and do try to avoid things that would excerbate it. I might, at least, also suggest tea if the fizz alone is what would annoy your stomach in pop. It's better, anyway. *g* Good luck on the recovery.
Well, I spend most of my time in front of a computer during winter anyway, and yesterday was in the 30's in Philly. I guess this might be a good time to take up tea drinking, I've only tried a few types but there's about twenty kinds in my house.
