Oh, Lynn, I truly feel your pain. I've had knee replacement on each leg, rotator cuff repair on each shoulder, cataracts replaced with artificial lenses in both eyes, a TIPS procedure, a liver transplant, and I'll have my left hip replaced next Wednesday.

And the most pain I've ever felt was when our oldest son, at age twelve, was diagnosed with a particularly rare and vicious type of cancer.

Hang in there, lady. I'm glad the prognosis is as good as it is. You're in my prayers now.
