Thanks for the help Kathi. A little more detailed than what my doc told me and helps more coming from someone that understands. I will need to do some of the things I am not supposed to do as I will still need to clean my house (darn)! My 20lb cat is not going to like not being picked up either...and he is a pip when it comes to cuddling and being held. I will just have to see how things go. Thanks again.
