Yes, it's getting that way for me Jeannie T., I have more titanium in my body than most machines have. I have been concerned about going through scanners in airports, but I have been told not to worry about it. Now I guess the TSA are really going all out..you can have a scan, which some fruitcake in the back room can look at you as though you have no clothes on..or you can be patted down. I thought you would be patted down only by someone of your own sex, but I have been told that isn't necessarily the case. :-( Oh well, I'm not going to worry about it, b/c we are not going any where for some time b/c we don't have the money to fly in the first place. ;-) ~J ----- Original Message ----- From: <askgranny@juno.com> To: <southern-chat@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 14, 2010 11:09 AM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Patch, patch, patch.... > I haven't had knee surgery, but I HAVE had stress tests, and they're no > fun..One was physical, years ago, but when they do them on me now they > are chemically induced.
