    You
    Many thank you's to all.
    You ladies were right it was not bad at all.
    I did get a surprise if they told me I did not or forgot. They went back in &
    did a little trimming lol. I guess the margin was not clean after all.
    I am feeling fine just a little sore. I could even sleep on the port side. I am a side sleeper.
    My best friend was there with me so she kept me busy with things we are planning to do this spring.

    Thank you Again
