breakfast (wasn't sure if Sammy could handle them but he got the rest, head

scalpel anywhere near you unless you can get rid of the pain no other way
on earth. If you do *have* to resort to surgery, I

Yup. I'm holding off. I have one bit of luck. My spine doc is counted one
of the top 10 spine surgeons in the nation.

His words paraphrased: delay as long as you can and still smile with quality
of life. The reason is the technology is growing by leaps and bounds.

Kinda like early knee surgery and today.
