Wendy, thank-you for the compliment, but I am not that strong. In fact right now I feel rather fragile, but I was rather pleased that I didn't make a fool of myself at the procedure.

I am worried about the surgeon visit on a number of fronts, but one is that they rarely do surgery for adhesions unless they are causing a total blockage (which has between a 5% and 48% mortality rate, depending on the type of blockage). Since I live a good hour from a decent hospital, this is a bit troubling to me.

Steve, I forgot to tell you that I'm thinking of you and your family.

Todd, stop your braggin' The sun is out here finally, and it has warmed up to 51 degrees F.
