Sorry to hear of your complication. Glad they were able to fix it. I know what you mean about the JP drain feeling HUGE. It sure is a relief to have it out. Hope the rest of your recovery is smooth sailing from here on out and that your kidney lasts for a very long time. The pictures of your family are beautiful.

After seeing Knocked Up, I don't think you have to worry about Superbad. I saw it the other day and it didn't make me laugh to hard. Knocked Up on the other hand, is hilarious!!
