Thanks Rain!
I am almost "looking forward" to surgery - to getting it behind me and moving on to a "normal" life. I'm so tired of having this hanging over my head. Besides, do I really have a choice?! And now that it might be a repair or a no-drug tissue - WOW! these are options that I never dreamed of!
I picked up a little jog-meter (for measuring how far I walk), and I'm gonna get some cocoa butter for the scar (thanks RobThats Him!), and a year from now, watch out, I'll be better than new!!
I hope you're doing well, and your son too. Keep an eye on him....!
