Dear Millie, you tell it. Thanks for all the kind words over the last few months when I've been in hospital. I'm still a "basket case" I only hope the appendix bursting didn't undo the adhesion removal operation. It felt so great to be pain free, only I wasn't really because I still had operation pain, but not that horrible, vicious adhesion pain. Love, Sally
