The doctor tells me that it will never kill me so at least I have that!<br /><br />Keep your sense of humor...as I am always telling my friends and family, "...you will be JUST fine." :)<br /><br />b+b+ (Retire In Style Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05114209481329773753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248452688088218010.post-59641340140825124372016-04-30T20:33:17.213-04:002016-04-30T20:33:17.213-04:00Actually, I hate that word, its so demeaning of pe...Actually, I hate that word, its so demeaning of people's suffering.
