The first day back from my real bad asthma was a psychological hurdle in that ol' Bessie may work just fine idling in the garage but can she still zoom down the highway? Phew! Got that one done with flying colors!<br /><br />Grandma indeed makes me so sad. The little sweetie did everything right for herself and drew the short straw on surgeons that night.
