Wonderful news about the weight loss & kicking the habit. I'll be praying for a successful surgery Skippy. I'm sure you'll be fine.
God bless you & grant you a speeedy recovery.

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

Completely uncalled-for and not accurate. I'll have you know that back in 2004 when I 1st pummeled Skippy, his body was anything but tough. It was warm, soft and squishy with lotsa folds and creases to hide in. He was anything but tough! Take it back or I'll hunt you down like a wild animal the next time I'm in town.... [-(

Ask your hospital if they have "Care Pages". It's a web site that your wife can post on your progress and everyone you know can log on and check up on you. Good luck my brother. \:D/
