what jamie is going through now, is truly a life changing expirence. i too, under went the same procedure december 14 of 04'.my procedure, without a doubt, changed me.i learned to appreciate things more, i don't take so many things for granted. i realized,now,even more, how important my true friends and fiamly are to me. one does not know the feeling of helplessnes until you are laying on the 'slab' and it's all in God's hands.

i wish you a speedy recovery, jamie!
