Dr is going to be gone all week so the appt. has been changed. Now we do it all on March 25th at 9:15 AM. Two days earlier the 23rd I go to the Vascular surgeon to get the repaired anneurysm checked and A CatScan for the lower end of the anneurysm to see what he has to do to repair it. Geez, maybe I should sell this body for when I am finshed using it to science. One thing, they sure wouldn't have to look long for scar tissue or not in many locations. When the Drs tell me I am a one of a kind I think they mean it. LOL At least they could see how well my bionics held up inder abuse.

At least you can have your coffee tomorrow? Isn't that the worst? I went in for surgery once and the waiting room says no eating or drinking out of respect for the patients. I sat down and a woman was eating a muffin with her morning coffee. I was stressed out and STARVING that I said something to her..lol Oopps
