Re: "De-ported"
Thank you all so much for sharing in the celebration. I wish the same for you and Colleen, Lee. Sometimes things in the rear view mirror are larger than they appear. This thing looks a lot better now than it did a few miles back.
My surgeon did it, but in his office, not surgery. It was really fast and easy. He numbed it up, and slid it out. It doesn't hurt except for the needle poke. Now it's just a little sore and I'll wear a waterproof bandage for a week.
