Yea, Mike  ;D

Mission accomplished - or at least 1/2 of it.  Count down to the Divino has now begun.

Glad things went well.  In my experience, the numbness lasts a while - sometimes a long while - but most likely will go away eventually.

Thanks for the gory details  ;)  :D

And, please keep us updated.

I bet you're glad it's over. Mike!  I glad to hear it went well. I will be leaving for the hospital in about a 1/2 hour. My surgery is scheduled for noon. I have been cleaning my house like a madwoman today to keep from getting too nervous or too hungry!
