I do NOT recommend it. Aside from not remembering anything but the 
morphine-induced halucinations (which I still find strange) during that 6 
week period, it's taken me twice as long to be able to walk and groom my 
Bearded Collies. I'm still far too much of a burden on my wife.

I learned just how bad it was when I went back to see the hospital staff. 
They were far too happy and effusive. Apparently the odds were against my 
recovering.

Do your best to avoid it. Even the K10D is not worth the risk.
