I got a registered letter from th Dr that did the surgery on my Aotic Anneurysm a year and a half ago. I have to get blood work and then a Cat Scan of the Anneurysm to find out what he has to do to make me young again. I can get them both done in Wheeling where they did the implants. I hope it has self healed so I can get a break from thinking about it for the last 16 months. Yes this worrys me but I still go nonstop all day.Maybe it's time I woke up and smelled the Roses !!

Here's hoping you get young again, but as far as we're concerned, we like you just the way you are. You probably wouldn't be as much fun if you were "young." We love your wit and wisdom! wink

If your doctor finds a way to make you young again, you will share, won't you?
