And, , , , , So, I did have a good talk this morning with a nice lady at the Nashville VA. Yes, I will go back to Nashville for a 2 to 3 day "check-up" in about 30 days after I initially get back to FLA. From there, for the "next year or two", , , , I will go back to Nashville every 4 to 6 weeks for check-ups!!!!!!!!! Maybe I can get a room with Trisha and Garth??!!?? If nothing else, I'll be racking up the American Airline miles.

More to come as it occurs.
