Hi cin605,

I think if you check the forum post under treatment options/microsurgical options/newbie scheduled for surgery Octoberr 2008 the member Dufreyne is talking about the same thing...hopefully you can get some answers from that post?

Cheers

Well look on the bright side maybe if you have issues they will tell you to "get plastered again!"Insted of "do you have a screwdriver??"

You are hilarious.  And thank you, I needed a laugh, my face hurts.  (I know, I'm a middle school joke waiting to happen)  Hope you are well.  Still sticking your tongue out at people?  :P

Yup...everyone i see i say I told them it was draining! :PLook...Its almost straight too!
It was swollen & deviated to the left since surgery.
i gotta say i am about ready to go sailing w/ captain morgan this weekend.My son goes w/ his dad for the night.
i thought about the taquila cure but that will feel really good while i am drinking it but the next day i'll feel like someone whacked me w/ abaseballl bat.
So...I will try the rum. ;D
i hardly ever drink alone but since surgery i have seriously been thinking about getting an emergency bottle... ;)

You won't be drinking alone--I'll have one with you, just not "with" you.  ;D
