I knew Lynn the Twin would liven this up. Lucv Ya gal. I got the staples out today and I guess there were quite a few more than 31. THe Dr was checking me and what he did came out good. He did tell me that I have to get another scan for him because something at the lower end of the last anneurysm repair shows something abnormal. LOL I think I would have bet on it. He said he wasn't about to explore this abnormality because he wanted to wait until I heal and when I do, he thinks he can do this repair without much of a mess or pain. YAHOOOOOOO. I am not allowed to lift or pull anything that has weight to it until cleared. His office called me after I got home this morning and have me set up for March 23rd at 9:15AM for the next leap. Damn, I must be tougher than I even thought like all of us, that is except for my Road Runner. Wonder if she ever stopped. Later ALL
