Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 My 60th birthday was just over a week after my surgery. I wondered if my body would heal like it did when I was younger and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it did!

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Nick......you are 60??????? Im 57!!!!! I have noticed too, that my body heals just as well at 57 as it did when younger.....perhaps more so! And I continue to be amazed at how well my body handles things. By the way, happy belated birthday!! Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
