Evening Dollface I hope you had a fabulous day!

It never ceases to amaze me when someone finds out they need to have surgery of some sort and the doctor recommends therapy/exercise before surgery and they just sit on their butt and complain. Then they whine during the entire recovery phase which generally lasts longer. Unfortunately I see this all too often.

You on the other hand, have taken the bull by the horns, thrown it to the ground and yelled: "Anyone wanna steak?"

you continue to inspire.
