"We know where to find you" That's the first good laugh I've had in a long time. I don't know why that struck me as so funny, it just did. I have a strange sense of humor. I called the American Airlines because my tickets hadn't come yet to fly me back for the operation and they had deleted them. I had to go around in circles, stand on my head, cry, and generally tell them how I REALLY felt about my operation and dying and all that good stuff. Anyway, they did come through and I now have tickets coming again (I hope). Thank you ever so much for caring. I got up today and nobody has been watering my father's memorial magnolia tree. I just about flipped. I wish my old help hadn't had to leave. Anyway, as you can see , I'm still here. All my love and gratitude, Sally
