I can say I am lucky...considering several years ago, I was informed by doctors that I would not live through the operation I was scheduled to have, and if I did, I would be partially paralyzed where I would have a hole in my throat, and I would never be able to talk or eat solid food again..Fortunately, by the grace of God, I'm able to do both and then some...its just like nothing had ever occurred...yes, I am a LUCKY MAN....
