Hi, Joanie,

Here's a hug/squeeze to help you get through the next many months.

{{{Joanie}}}

Not much else that I can do for you there. But, I wanted to let you

know that I had a full abdominoplasty (tummy and abdomen tuck with

tightening of the flaccid abdominal muscles) as well as hip and butt

lift at age 62-1/2, and now, at 63, I am feeling and looking better

than I have since the mid-'80's. I have recently retired, and now my

" job " is getting my body in shape for old[er] age. The

abdominoplasty could not get at the ventral fat inside my abdomen,

but regular weight training exercise at the gym seems to be molding

it slowly. There is quite a good team at University of Iowa and a

few good plastics people in the Seattle area as well as Dr. Ted

Lockwood in Kansas City--all of them quite a trek from

Idaho-Washington border, I know.

Courage!

Steve
