    Hey that is pretty funny, Kan,

    The British Invasion. Isn't it the Beetles song, and I may not do this well: WHen I get older, when I'm 65, will you still love me, will you still be with me when I'm 65....
    something like that. anyone know it??
    I may be confusing two different songs.
    or groups. But I think it is those British invaders, the BEETLES.
    My older siblings tell a story when they were younger.
    The TV was on and it was the Ed Sullivan show and my older sister was probably a teen and my younger one , a pre-teen and my brother, younger still.
    But they screamed the Beetles were on and my brother thought they were bugs!!!!!!
    That is how OLD I am. But I was the youngest, my siblings are even older. LOL.
    However, sometimes, my children call me Ancient.

    runagain, "give me your answer, fill in a form
    Mine forever more
    Will you still need me?
    Will you still feed me?
    When I'm 64?"

    Great song. Unfortunately, though.....64 isn't too far over the horizon for me.

    .....oh, and I remember one of my older brothers came home from school one day, his hair hanging in his eyes, desperately needing a haircut, and he said to our older sister....hey, someone called me a beetle today. What gives? My sister explained who The Beatles were, and the rest, as they say, is history.......

    Anybody have any thouhts on when freedom will hit us market fda approved? I am thinking 2013ish, with insurance coverage 2018ish. I hope mesoblast is allowed to move fast. However, I dont see insurance ever covering mesoblast as its too simple and high demand would hit the insurance companies or govt hard.

    If they find mesoblast (stem cells) work for regrowing spinal discs, it would be worth paying for. If it does work, somewhere in the world, the word will get out.

    I gave my niece all my Beatles posters. I wonder what they would be worth now if she still had them?
    Diagnosis:
    Degenerative disc disease throughout spine
    Generalized disc bulging with mild narrowing of thecal sac in L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1.
    Moderate spinal stenosis L4-L5
    Foraminal narrowing
    Recent compression Fx at T10,T11.
    Treatment:
    Spinal decompression 2007
    Cortisone injection in lower back in 2010
    Relieved of pain for now
    Hope for ADR
