She didnt quite understand the reaction she got when I groaned. She thought the match was on. :lol:The little bugger!!! She is enjoying not being in her kennel and sleepin with me in my recliner. She is sooooo spoiled.:tongue_smilie: Lots of gas!!! Belching like a champ. At least my wife cant yell at me for it this time. Cant wait till I ca

Frankly I am feelin great!! :tt1:I might be sorry:confused: I said that but I really think it has a LOT to do with the kind of care and advice you get BEFORE you go into this. Before the surgery I stepped on ther "official" scale and nearly peed myself:eek:---well I was nearly naked by that time so I guess it wouldnt have been so bad--
