(low salt chicken soup!) Glad you're feeling better enough to be online. Recoup fast now!

Anyway ... my Heart Surgeoun was quoted for saying ... his patients have a faster rate of recovery than other doctores in his leaque. Got to do with his exceptional skills as a surgeon. Then there was Cardiologists who worked with my heart surgeon. And to answer your question TDFLAN.. he was a rather charming sweetheart. HOWEVER ... I decided to take Lulu's sweet gift of a teddy bear dressed in a surgeon's smock and nicknamed him after my surgeon .. since he was the one (phyically went in) and saved me. Dr."Teddy" Cass And Lulu .... you brought the little kid in me again .... Dr. Teddy Cass had his place to my side every day I was in the hospital.
