He kept telling me he felt fine before the surgery... seen this with parishioners. They never knew how good they COULD feel, because the loss of energy had come so slow they thought it was just age and changing activities.

One guy we went to see in the hospital, post-op, was a color we had NEVER seen him be.... it's really something. Thinking of the reaction of that 70+-year-old parishioner (*G*) as reported by his wife in later weeks (*G*), maybe some of those Spawbucks will have to go to a little getaway for him and Karen.... *G*G* Kat, be sure he thinks of that before giving it all to Mudcat! *G*
