So what happens if one wants to make a reference to charles d***ens? 

Tammy - glad you survived the "de-stapling", but sorry that it wasn't quite as easy as we'd all told you.  Isn't it just great to be a trendsetter?? > :o

Hmm, you don't even get a partial on the first one, yet the second comes through fine.  Who made up these rules??

And as far as the trendsetter business, I figure I won't ever get arthritis or heart disease because everyone gets those...I just get this weird stuff...not even your "normal" AN, but an adipose one.  Then the "almost unheard-of" CSF leak through the incisinon.  The other weird things I have are cold urticaria (I get hives in cold weather, and I live in Wisconsin!), and a massive yearlong inflammatory response to a tetanus shot (also extremely rare).  And my daughter's condition doesn't even have a name, though there are a couple that sort of fit...

Rarely,
Tam

Yes indeed, the automatic censoring program is a bit primitive. It reminds me of that "Unnecessary Censoring" bit they do on the Jimmy Kimmel show - it tends to emphasize the words it is trying to censor out. It would probably be wise not to test it out too thoroughly, please.   ;)

Hearing lasted a while, but left side is deaf now.
Right side is weak too. Life is quiet.

i had 13 staples in the stomach , a couple in the head and one on the lower spine.

the only one that tweaked was the one on the spine. kinda like a pinch.

i found it helped me alot to not watch him do it though  LOL

i'm a wuss.........

Dr. said i had an extreme tolerance for pain drugs but i have no tolerance for pain........

the removal shouldnt hurt a bit!!!!!!!!!!
10 mm x 2.4mm surgery date 12/03/07

Tammy,
Glad to hear you are glueless stapleless and suturesless!  I hope the resut of your recovery is uncomplicated to the point oif being boring -- you've been through more than Gour share of trials and tribulations.  Sorry the experience was somewhat painful but hopefully all AN related pain is now behind you.  On with the healing!!!
