Keenan,
Long time no hear from. I started reading this thread and didn't know what I would find by the time I got to the end of it.
So, you have gone through a surgery and are at the other end trying to heal. I am sure you are glad to be where you are now
instead of where you were. Life is full of loops, hurdles and (fill in the blank) Glad you are on the mend and the worst is over
for you. Tara
