You should be buried by pixie dust by now. So this will help the pyrimad. I've been in on six or seven. Long, compex surgery, but very successful. Best of luck and nothing but sincere love to the whole family. -- - dillon I am not invalid Toby (Tri-Umph That's the Sweet Truth) March 1998 - June 2010 What a dog. What a dog!

I think the "no driving" would make me nuts! I hope you are up for WDW in just four short months! -- - RODNEY Next WDW Vacation? Who knows!

I pushed the limits a little and was released earlier than the Doctors predicted. I am not pushing too hard, (I was a Paramedic/Firefighter for 13 years and know how hard to push safely) but just enough to speed things up a little. At my last follow-up, the Doctor even canceled one follow-up and set it up for a later date because of how well I was doing. I am hoping the 2 months might be changed to an earlier date - "We'll see". Regardless, I plan on using a ECV for the week I am at WDW - 'just in case'. -- Not 'THAT' Ed TDC Royal Inspector of the Pork Loins, Guardian of the Rub and Taste Tester for Boma |
