Bruce, my heart goes out to your wife, Julie. Please take care of her and we all hope the Doctors will someday come up with a cure for these blasted adhesions. I think this site has been a wonderful help for people to share thoughts and suggestions, I know I have learned a lot and I have taken the advice of several of the people. Take care, you sound like a wonderful and compassionate mate. Keep us posted....Sandy
