skymedic 0 #1 July 12, 2006 She did great. fixed the ACL, yanked a third of her patellar tendon off to make it, then fixed some other bits n pieces here and there. all is well...although she's hurting like hell. and I'm stuck at the firehouse. What is odd though is how scared I was when she was in there...never thought i'd get so worked up over her going under the knife. I think i was more freaked out than her...even if she never knew it. had to show a strong front for my bride. Oh..and thanks again to sangiro for introducing us 4yrs ago. peace to all, Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
