YW. Made my day!

My attitude is: I really like and trust my doctors. It was that long list of "turn 50" tests that got me squeamish.
And I passed all with flying colors. Priceless.
The logical side of my engineer brain tells me that going for tests to rule out possible things is so much better than not going at all, and losing the advantage of early detection if something is wrong. I have no idea what my father's medical history is (messy divorce when I was a teenager), so my docs are w*rking with half a blank sheet as far as family history goes. So they send me for pretty much all screening tests as age dictates.

So glad the tests came back as they did. Good luck with the surgery.
Focus on the sun rising every day to help you keep perspective.

Tom Jones - woooooooooo. Sounds like fun for DW.
