    Hi Lynette,

    That's a hell of a curve, you will be so happy when it's fixed.

    The one thing I did was take a camera to the hospital. I had people take pictures of me, because I knew I would not remember. Like me in the ICU and others. It took me 2 years to habe them developed, but I am so grateful I did it.

    All my Best,
    Shari

      Nice curves! I say that to all the ladies. Sometimes I say that to the men and get into trouble.....

      After surgery, I say "nice rack" and sometimes get into trouble from both ends. LOL

      Just a little x-ray humor.

      Hang in there, things will work out just fine.

        Shari - that's fabulous advice. Thank you and I will absolutely do that, gotta keep records to show the world what superheroes we all are right?

        Ed - thanks for the nice compliment - hey I'll take a compliment whatever way I can get it . You are too funny - don't forget to tell me that I have a nice rack after my surgery ok?

        It's amazing what we can endure and go through, and if it doesn't break us, it makes us very very strong.

          Lynette,

          I showed my pictures of my scars about 2 weeks old, and I've seen tough, macho men turn white.

          It's become one of my favorite things to do when I want to mess with someone that thinks they're all that.

          What can I say, sometimes you have to make you own fun,
