Thank you very much for your comments. Not to scare me or to encourage me, the doctors did not paint the gruesome details of post-surgery recovery. This assignment is just for 9 days, mostly sitting all day long, waiting on calls (I did not get to interpret the players' interviews at all last year and got paid. lol) at the beautiful Pebble Beach Golf course. I thought I might be able to do this. However, I decided not to take this assignment since I will never know what condition I will be. Thank you very much for your advice.
