			<description><![CDATA[I had the FULL EMG and the other one whatever it is called.  I had a great Doc and said he wished the big bad Marines and Navy seals that had it done complained more than me...I just go to another place and zone out.  It wasn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be.]]></description>

Sometimes I get to the point where I just dont care if anyone finds out what is going on with me or not and that I will just go on living...]]></description>
