@zerimarfritz - Hi, thanks for the comment.

2 weeks is amazing !!! You are only the second person I have heard about it happening that quickly. I am sorry to hear about the other side though. I have had it nearly 5 years (March 2006) and would say that one side is 99.9% healed (I still see the odd imporvement - we obviously forget how good looking we were - LOL) and the other side I would say is 65% healed.

I definitely still believe we are both healing. Never give up hoping or praying bout it.
