Guess we've come a long way from nose jobs in the 70s to crotch jobs in the 2007's. Pathetic. I remember the ad that said “You’ve come a long way, baby.”

Pathetic.

I had surgery with Dr. Matlock 2 1/2 years ago and my life's dramatically improved - I can go running again, work on my feet w/out feeling a painful bearing down sensation, I have much more energy and I enjoy sex more like I did when I was younger - it was a very long and painful recovery process but in my case definately worth it.
