John I am so glad to hear that everything went well. You and Janelle make such a nice couple. You can tell that you guys are genuine, its nice to see that.
On one of the tapes I heard the doctor mention that you were from Boston, did you grow up here?
He mentioned Weymouth too, thats where I grew up and still live.
Small world.

Looks good, no red, healthy skin.  When do you get the staples out?  Bruce had staples when the granite slab broke his hip (06), still has a 10" scar. looks like train tracks.  When they replaced his hip last year (07)they didn't use staples & cut along the old scar, but 3 inches longer & over the hipbone. I still have the hardware & strainer dealie they put in for blood clots...not much for 400K but shined up will look good on the Christmas tree!  Hey, are you gonna tat that face around your scar???  J

Oh my gosh John, I was not prepared for that and when I scrolled down quickly it jumped out at me and scared me! It really startled me. Thanks for the laugh, glad you are having fun with it!

AAAAGGGHHH!  Whew, that scared me too!!!

My dad would have to go in occasionally for a stress test, and they had to shave parts his chest for the electrodes.  First time the nurse commented "Hmmm...looks like a double razor job!".

Couple of years later he had to do the same thing.  Same nurse, same comment.

I can only imagine that they had a whole garbage can full of gap-toothed razors  by the time they were done done with John!!
