hi all, not much time to respond today, but...Ellie, I'll speak again w/dr, S has an appt today...but I owe them so much money, I have a hard time requesting anything "extra"... Oldtimer, yes, I know, you're right about makeing him do some of the work...he actually did a "bit" last weekend...and I am stepping back, I still worry about stepping back too much though. ummmm, I am still trying to figure out who you were on here "before"....I know others have "got it", but I'm slow, I guess. On a "good" or at least different side, yesterday was the 4th anniversary of Dday. wow. BUT.....I spaced it off, didnt even realize it until today. hmmmm, I like to take that as a sign that maybe I am moving on... ; flip side of that coin though is it was also the anniversary of our 1st date; spaced that one off too.
