RYD - May 15th weekend...
I drink the .. I mean plead .. the 5th! 
Yes, 4 years or more! I think that's very important and wise!
Also, I think consideration should be given to "complications."
Last time I checked, I'm still the complication Queen (though SOME PEOPLE ---- not saying who) are trying to be in competition with me lately! I don't like competition! I know that I speak from my own experience and fears. I've never seen a candid discussion on "complications." By "complications," I mean: peterson's hernia; bowel obstruction (partial or full); adhesions; peripheal neuropathy; anemia; vitamin deficiencies; revisions; reversals (yes, I said reversals); depression; life adjustments/relationships; and more!
I have two sides to my brain - a right side and a left side. The trouble is sometimes there is nothing left in the right side and nothing right in the left side.

I promise i will try my very best NEVER to compete with your record! Although I am a revision and I do have hernias... but so far so good.
i think the other ideas of complications are good as well like the depression and life adjustment and relationships. I was just today dealing with that and posted on it.

forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could be any different
VANESSA-I have NO desire to fight you for the "Queen" title. If nothing else, I'd love to hear your story over coffee, or around the pool. You are a true inspiration. And as I say in my new fave words ...It ain't all fairy farts and rainbows!!!
