Ginni and all: Here is the adhesiolysis procedure that I had sone by Dr. Reich. It will discribe why I mentioed the ringers solution. Thank-you for the information, I understood better this time. One wonders just when and what type of resolution may be found for ARD!! Until then, we can only keep trying and hoping! Bev
