Hi KJ,

I feel so bad for you that you are having so much trouble with your

incision! It is bad enough without this added twist. I hope for your

sake it heals soon! I know how bosses are too, just tell him when you

are able, you will be back. Luckily I was back to work right away, had

the surgery on Thursday and was back the next Monday....I should share

some of your stories with him to let him know how serious ep really is,

he thinks it is no big deal, in fact when I told him about it later, he

thought there wasn't even surgery involved, then proceded to tell me

about some infected cyst that he had to have drained on his chest! YUK!

Way to much information from him!!!! He is a gross person anyway and now

I have this mental picture of him.......

Anyway-Take it easy and try to heal..

Thinking of you,

Vicki
