Greetings misskate

My guess is that it is pretty chilly in San Francisco these days?

Its great that you can focus all your energy on the task ahead of you. Your attitude sounds great to me. There are so many folks here on this website that can offer help and support, you are definitely in the right place.

I'm twice your age but I was fortunate that surgery was an option for me. I quit all of my bad habits at age 58, but not soon enough. There is just no escaping your past I suppose.

I'm wishing you all the best on your treatment and recovery.
