Thanks every1! I'm seriously looking forward 2 having some FUN. When we left the house for surgery a yr ago I told my husband not to worry cos next summer we'll be at a park slurping on some slushies & think wow what a weird last year we had & high-five it baby. I kept meditating on that thought when things got rough during treatment. Keep postive guys!


Carol L~I didn't have stiches, they just let the hole heal from the inside out so I don't know. Good luck to you, I hope all goes well.
