Glad to hear it went well for you, Jim. I had a bit of surgery
Tuesday too and if you were anything like me, you were chomping at the
bit to get out of there asap, lol. I couldn't get out early either,
but I finally convienced them to let me out of there the same day
instead of staying over the night. *shivers* Hope your recovery goes
quickly and that Des and the girls spoil you a bit the rest of the
next couple of weeks, *grins*
