Now see, Paul, *that's* what I thought Pablo was talking about! ;-) For myself, I'm on the rollercoaster of *pre*-surgery! Skip enough exercising or traction therapy one day, or do too much bending or work on my knees and I'm at the very bottom of the coaster. Take it real easy, do my exercises and pop a Motrin and I'm back on top again, but only temporarily. D'oh!

I guess I didn't think about the emotional and phisical roller coaster that I was on also. Life is a roller coaster...

Last Friday, I took Dr. Bertagnoli and my 2 Charite's indoor skydiving.... Not a roller coaster.... but very, very cool!
