My doctor told me that if you have it on one side, the likelihood of getting it on the other is greater.

I'm sorry bout your surgery. At least you know that whatever they see, they have seen it all, every day. I had to get over that in the hospital too, especially when they had to change my gown for me since I was hooked up to IVs in both arms and couldn't move much. Let's hope you recover twice as fast as anticipated!

I would have thought of running away.<br /><br />Are you sure that doctor did not tattoo his signature on you? You'll have it for eternity and some day it may be worth a fortune as a masterpiece. You'd stand there in an art gallery and everyone would see the scar and the signature underneath. Just like a painting.<br /><br />Seriously though; praying for you, Manny. Hope you get better soon and all this will be just a distant memory.<br /><br />God bless and heal you.

Cuz then you're going for the buzz.<br /><br />Not offering medical advice. Just info.Jan, that know-it-allnoreply@blogger.com
