new implant- cycling pain

[bc2020]

LGX- I can count on you always encouraging the new folks, including me. I really appreciate that.

John- let me say for the record that although the extra girth is great, I genuinely wish I didn't feel the need to get it. I would also say I suspect most people don't need it. It was a unique circumstance that drove me that direction, see above posts. Although I got lucky, every intervention has a down side, and what we think is very important to us sometimes isn't... so, I agree with your general advice.

Also, good luck with your health challenges. As my Dad used to say, "getting old ain't for old people". We are all fighting for function, and I admire the ones who don't go down without a fight. Hang in and press on.
