Your comment about super glue may be more truth than you think.

Super glue was invented to close up surgical openings, because it wears off after a few days to a week.

That is why it works so well glueing your skin !!

Something you might not have ever needed to know, but now you do.

I was asked to help develop the glue's delivery mechanism to be used in operating rooms.

Many surgical sites are now "sutured" with adhesive.  It leaves a smaller scar and you do not have to worry about suture/staple removal.  Surgical incisions are so much smaller these days due to the use of cameras that the days of numerous sutures are going away.

Do you know the difference between surgical super glue and regular super glue.

about 140 dollars per ounce

That's right. I have 2 packages of 6 tubes of the surgical, errr, I mean MY surgical stuff hanging on my fridge. I use it ALL the time. If it weren't for super glue, I might not have any blood left in me!!

BTW, anyone heard anything from Cody today???

[Busted Knuckle]

Shes out of surgury, she went in before breakfast and got done around 4 then went straight to dialysis. She tolerated it well, the doctors said it went "picture perfect", they went thru a lot of her arteries and found bad blockages and then put stents, they said she even has them in her legs along with both kidneys, the lead doctor had a name too long for a normal keyboard to type and I pretty much didn't understand a word he said but the nurse said that it will take time for the recovery but in around 3 to 6 months she will be a new person, I'm kinda hoping for J-Lo but not sure yet.  I think he said she has 11 of them now.  I asked him if he thought it was all done in vein and he just stared at me then looked at his nurse, she was busy spitting a cup of coffee so he thought that was kinda funny but then he looked back at me like I was a busnut or something strange.  I'm hoping the bill is shy of the 2.5 million that BK mentioned but I know it's major but if it'll keep her around for a little while longer I'll be happy, well, maybe not happy but still cowed into submission anyway.  She isn't back from dialysis yet so I haven't seen her but I'm really thinking she'll be tired and cranky, kinda like normal, thats all I know for now.

Good news, Cody.  We are so glad it went well.

A little healing time and she will be good as (or better than) new.

All the best to both of you.
