hello

[Guest guest]

Glad to be of service, friend.

Nope. That's not at all an unusual procedure. Several of the women

who work in my ortho's office have had the same surgery, with the

same percutaneous (through the skin) cuts, and the naked eye, or even

the eye aided by a magnifier could not see them.

My surgery was in June 2002, and it has been a great success from

every standpoint, I am pleased to say. I was extraordinarily

fortunate that morning, and my surgeon had a most excellent day, as

well!

Can't wait to be on the other side of this whole ordeal. Again thanks

for the comfort! I look forward to future chats, I will let you know

if I am going to be having surgery as soon as I hope:-)
