Just consider that yank a pop of the champagne cork...that is what Bill's sounded like and then afer a few seconds...no pain so it just a momentary unpleasantness although I will confess that I turned my head during the big "PULL." When I looked up immediately after the "pop", Bill was fine and not grimacing so I was relieved.

Congrats on reaching the light...you guys are changed forever in some ways but you made it thru.
