Kelly never had any pain when he woke up from the surgery, only some discomfort---mostly from the packing in the nose. When asked by the staff if he needed pain medication, he said no. In fact, he had no pain medication as a result of the surgery itself while in the hospital at all (5 days). He never experienced pain that a BodyTalk session couldn't eliminate immediately. In less than three weeks, he returned full time to work, saying he feels fine.
