Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Lori, that thought occurred to me.  My family might have been happy to have me shut up for awhile since I might have to have my jaw wired shut! HA  See I had ALL sorts of scenarios going on there for a day or two!  Sheesh

Well, we probably all are a little gun shy now about the small risk factors of rare complications.  We ALL know that "rare" happens to somebody.  Ya kind of feel like you are one of those ducks in a shooting gallery, weaving and ducking and running for cover trying to dodge the bullets headed in your direction.  Dodged this one! 

Thank you again for all your kind words and support.  Are we a great group or what!

Duckin' for cover in Vancouver, ;)
