I hope it will inspire others to pay attention to those little signals our bodies give us as it's better to be safe than sorry. Kudos to TJ for convincing you to remain for more tests. John needed some prodding too, as did his Drs. What a fantastic outcome you had! Celebrate life and hold the gravy! ;)JustMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621198962663494114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362754874950913466.post-52711327346688139602011-04-29T23:47:33.810-07:002011-04-29T23:47:33.810-07:00Joe, you seem to write effortlessly.
