Thanks for all the answers, guys!

[Guest guest]

I want to take a moment to thank all of you who took the time to answer my

unending number of questions I have posited over the past few weeks. You all

have provided wonderful answers to everything. Now, all I have to do is wait to

talk to TCI for all the deeper medical-related tests and results.

I am starting to get really concerned about the likelihood of another surgery

and the accompanying recovery and return to work. I've been through it once and

don't really want to do it again. I know I don't want to be in pain anymore

(who does??), but recovery is just a, well, not a nice thing. Plus, it only

gets harder as one gets older. =)

Again, thanks to all and it's great to know someone out there knows that even

though we look perfectly fine from the outside, there may be some really ugly

and painful stuff going on inside one's body... =)
