    Guys, you are sooooo right
    Guys, you are sooooo right on what it does mentally for you. It has had a true placebo effect on me. Have a nice 2 inch scar healing up just fine. I can even put pressure on it with no pain at all. My wife says it has put a spring back into my step.

    Susie was happy that I could take a shower after 3 days. I was getting a little ripe. The dog did not even want to get to close to me.
