That's pretty interesting to me Rick. I'm taking QoV to mean quad on
vent. I was thinking that if I was there - I would probably throw
the dice. Funny how our perceptions are so different when it comes to
things about which we know so little isn't it? I was thinking if the
surgery went bad - I'd be a QoV. I'm also thinking that no matter how
'safe' such an operation might get..... there's still a risk. Kind of
screws with our dream doesn't it

Hi
O'C,
I wouldnt take those odds either. It would have to be
full
proof for me to undergo surgery to improve my
physical condition. If there
is a chanse of becoming
worse, then I wouldn't do it.
