Well, that picture visually describes how I felt after getting the last set of shots...heehee.  They worked for about a day and a half and I have since seen the Dr. for the follow up.  He is doing one more set to confirm the results and then will operate on one side (then allow to heal for three months) and then do the other side.  So, we're looking at about another six to eight months of this crap.  He has required that I stop smoking (which I have done as of yesterday).  The Dr. wouldn't even give me a prescription for smoking cessation stuff cuz he says my wanting this surgery to work should be motivation enough.  He just doesn't budge an inch.  He's like a spoiled little kid who always gets his way and somehow makes the "giver" feel it's the right thing to do.........some people's children, I swear.  I got a postcard from Tanya last week.  They are (were) in Connecticut camping out and that made her think of me.  It's nice to be thought of.  I need to go to bed.  Tomorrow I am up early to get a couple things done in the cool of the morning.  It was perfect outside today.  G'night.
