Thank you all! I've had an enjoyable b-day - spent alot of time holding my 3mo old daughter- that always makes me feel beter...pain levels are ok -not miserable, which is good. (thats not the "fake smile ok that family/co-workers get....) My dad asked how it felt to be 26 - i told him that i wish my body felt lik a 26yr olds! and Jo - no need to be embarassed (no pun, i PROMISE about the boil). Remember- i shared that i had a boil/cyst removed from a similar area in May- couldn't sit for a week!
