Thanks again everybody. :) All is going well. I'm just dealing now with being tired and sore. Keeping my kids from jumping on me has been the greatest challenge throughout this whole thing! :lol:

Dogbytes: Fortunately, I was able to have the laproscopic surgery. I was told before hand though, that there was a very good chance they would have to open me up anyway during the operation, but I wanted it out! Thankfully, it wasn't needed. I now have a 2" opening from my belly button down, and 4 other 1" openings in other places where they stuck in lights and other instruments. The surgery went well, but they put me on massive doses of antibiotics to deal with the infection, and pretty huge doses of morphine to deal with the pain. My surgeon was excellent and the staff treated me like a king with the huge exception of the food which I would not even feed a starving dog, it was terrible!

J$: Does it hurt you when I press...here?

Thanks again everybody for cheering me up. :D Now, where are my carving tools?...
