Hello Everyone!! So great to "hear" you all on the new thread.

Only have a few minutes now. Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes for my dad. There were some comlications during surgery but he is recovering well. And he's grumpy which means he is doing just fine smile ! My dad and I really are pals - too much alike sometimes!

Now, I will need to catch up on work and all the little things that do not get finished when something unexpected comes up. Nero, I would give anything for a "quiet week"!

Nothing further from xSO. He does not even know about the surgery. It occurred to me that he is truly that far out of my life. Yes, if he ever contacts me again - it has been about a month - I will ask some questions. But if he doesn't contact me, I am OK with letting sleeping dogs lie. I have no intention of contacting him just to ask questions to which I likely will get no answers. And if he never contacts me again, that is an answer in itself.

On an up note, my grumpy ole cat was positively thrilled to see me when I got home. I should go away more often!

Thanks again for your thoughts and good wishes. They truly mean a great deal to me.
