When the doc removed this thing he just said "take a deep breath in and then slowly let it out" ... it was during the 'slowly let it out' that he pulled ...

Gary great news to have you on the way to recovery & healthy again.........
I would say after NYE a nice 1 month cruise is in order

Yeah I know that old doctors trick. When I had a brain aneurysm some years ago and couldn't eat for 8 months being fed through a tube straight into my stomach that same trick was played on me. When I was finally able to eat again I went to have the tube removed. I was told it was just like having a tooth pulled. Sounds ok ??? but there was no anaesthetic and I can't ever having a tooth pulled without pain killer. The doctor said she'd pull it on the count of 3 so brace myself .... she pulled it at 2 and I almost shot through the ceiling in pain when the tube and stopper holding it in was pulled from my gut.
