Bob, Iร‚ยดve got one from cow. Happens the same to me, I feel somehow guilty when eating a medium-rare steak and when make hiking and see so tender calves I throw them kisses๐Ÿ˜Š
It's now Sunday and I have just completed a leisurely 3 1/2 mile walk along the seafront with Marley. While I still have no idea of the surgeon's name, I shall be eternally grateful to him and his team, for the new life they gave me....
Looking great, Bob! Congratulations on your successful procedure! Speedy recovery!!
Marley looks positively regal! Congrats on your procedure !!
Thanks for all the kind comments and encouragement. 2 weeks on and walking easily 3-4 miles a day and with an unfamiliar all over warm body. I genuinely wish the same for everyone still waiting for surgery. Good Luck America, I won't mention the tariffs...!
