You are absolutely on the right track with the way you are figuring it David. I have read this somewhere and liked it very much as is so true for many of us here; � My scars are my red badge of courage. I view my scars as a sign of survival and, frankly, I don't care if it isn't pretty. I am very proud of them.� For me the swimsuit issue is a little different�I only show my body in a women�s only Aqua Aerobics class. Have that normal �extra pounds� female thing going on Hope you and Linda enjoy your first swim together before you run out of summer over there. Love to you both Gabriele
