Jane, I am always so glad when you talk about yourself first, because you so seldom do. I did not know about your surgery, had I known, I'm sure I would have sent something. You don't give specifics on your surgery, so I can only surmise it was to remove the large, hairy mole you have always had. I am so happy for you, your pants should now fit much more comfortably. Hugs & Kisses
