I was miserable! Done deal now - home and looking forward not backward since they found no cancer.
Thanks to all for your prayers and comments ( I know they make Ian feel better also. I think we got him hooked on the Opel group) Time will tell.
Yeah, Tom, welcome back . . . now if only you could stop swelling up hugh!

In joking fashion

Okay Tom in my normal sense of humor, I knew that surgically removing the pack of cigarettes from your chest-you would be down the road to recovery just fine. Okay-my smokers are bad joke is over-I'm watching out for the stones. Glad to hear you are doing well good buddy

Truer words never spoken

Keith,
You are correct and I was the fool. This certainly got my attention so no more smoking for me, social or otherwise. When reality hits home the truth is easy to face.
