    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! :p 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?

    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 :)
