I am home... I got to Pittsburgh about 5:45 and went right thru the routine. Everyone was great and nice but sure asked some questions after reading my chart. Then I heard the familialar , How in the world can you stand ll of what you have been thru and still smile and be alive. LOL Standard answer. I amd determined to make 100 and will with a smile and good friends. I only have 2 incisions about 1 1/2 to 2 inches from this one and no railroad tracks. I am in some pain but I actually feel great. The Dr told me to try at least one week of taking it easy. I'll do my best to keep him on my side. I hope all of you are still enjoying this nice life we have going. Luv Ya ll and a big ((((((((((((((((((((((hug to all)))))))))))))))))))
