Again, I want to thank each and every one of you for these special wishes. I stood up in church this morning and gave my "witness" about this miracle -- which to me is what all of these surgeries are -- and had a lot of good discussion as a result.
Pamela, we need to come up with an appropriate term for re-oppers' anniversaries. They certainly deserve one.
Gadget/Bubba, it is an honor to have a valversary so close to yours, fellow Son of the South, suh!
As for my screen name, I was originally BionicBob -- I actually joined a few months before surgery. But in a fit of post-op depression, for some reason that I cannot even remember now (pumphead ), I quit vr.com. But Ross came to my rescue and let me have a new identity with that "H" name. And then we were having fun with the "Superbob" thing on Cooker's weigh-in Throw-Down, so Ross, at my request, magically changed my screen name to Superbob recently.
I guess two morals to take out of all that: (1) For those of you heading into surgery or recently through surgery, know that some degree of depression is not uncommon -- but it will pass, you will get through it (ask for help if you need it, though), and (2) Ross is The Man hereabouts.
Thanks again, all you kind friends!
