            ok so the stitches have come out today YAY! I still look like a monster but at least things arent so tight
 I joined the 20p savers club and sold the stock I said I was going to so as soon as that clears my bank I am going to clear whatever I can after brokerage fees and taxes.
 This life really is a learning experience and at 42 I have finally figured out less stress makes for a better life.

            Good morning NewLeaf, :hello:
 Life is indeed better after 40 - and much better without stitches! Am very glad to hear you're over that second hurdle; moving around will be easier now - did you ask the surgeon how soon you can use Bio Oil or Aloe Vera to minimise the new scars?                        0 Am very glad to hear you're over that second hurdle; moving around will be easier now - did you ask the surgeon how soon you can use Bio Oil or Aloe Vera to minimise the new scars?                        0

            Glad to hear you are more comfy after stitches out. has the bladder / kidney problem resolved itself? Hope you are now in less pain.
 I had my LBM at 42 and although it was hard at first my life is now a lot easier 0 0
