Barbara,
First, and most importantly, the picture of your cat is priceless - the expression is incredible and caption couldn't be more apropro - looks like a candidate for America's Funniest Home Videos! Glad to hear that your pain was relieved but as bad as I feel w/ just stones it's hard to imagine what it must feel like w/ an infection to boot. In any event thanks for the encouraging words and the kitty puss picture.
