Ardith,

  Santa didn't stop here. He was going to "save the best for last" (my
house). However, I sent him a card with the words "Define Naughty". 

  Apparently, he had "heard I'd been good"...but then saw that card, and
he died laughing. 

  I have had one health present...with eating only 1 meal a day for the
last several weeks, I've lost nearly 50 pounds. The next thing to lose
is my pants, if I don't put more holes in the belt. It'll either give
folks a cheap thrill, or a heart attack. 

  I've got another sebacious cyst on my back, but it has to wait until
after the first of the year to get "broken" and "drained". I also had to
start the Low-T treatments (those numbing deals in the hip/buttocks area
burn like the dickens). But, left untreated, Low-T can lead to a whole
host of other male problems (and I have more than enough issues
already, thank you). I get follow-up blood work 1 month after the
treatment, then get another implant 3 months after the blood work.

  They alternate hips/butt cheeks for each one...but the left one had a
rather large benign cyst removed from it a few years back. So, they may
have to "find a different place".

  That cyst was so deep (thankfully, it was benign), that it had to heal
from the inside out (all my cysts have been that way), and I had to have
2 months of home health care. My mother-in-law quipped that "you get to
show your butt, and have it rubbed"...to which I said "nudity means
nothing to them"...although a friend of mine will NOT go to the doctor,
as "he doesn't want them to see him naked". I couldn't convince him that
"it's not anything they haven't seen before".

  Besides, if you're female in labor, you have to forget all modesty.
I've yet to hear of a boy coming out in a nice tuxedo, or a girl in a
satin white dress. :P

Daryl
