Back when I had my graft, PC's were so new, there was the ZX Spectrum, Atari, BBC and Dragon!!! No limits back then.

Lethagy is probably due to the time it takes an anasthetic to completly leave your system, plus the nights draw in so quick.

Will soon be shortest day then Christmas. :D

Michael, just wanted to wish you all the best with surgery, am hoping that everything goes well for you. Please have a great Christmas, time will go so fast and you will be having surgery before you know it!

Honestly, all i can say is that everything will be fine, as i stressed and completely went overboard before i had my graft, then had surgery, came around and all i could say was ... is that it?!!! :wink: LOL! I'm not so sure what i was expecting, but nothing like what did happen!!!

Keep us updated, and please don't worry. :lol:
