Silver -- I have to tell you that I'm relieved !! The chance of recurrance is quite high, and I know you don't want to go thru that again!

Managing your pain isn't as bad as it sounds, as I've been doing it for quite a few years now -- we finally found a combo of meds that works quite well. So it's not all bad.

Keep us posted, will ya? And wouldn't it be nice if we could all meet? Ahhh well, we can dream, can't we?

Hi, and thank you for the kind words. Looking forward to the lottery. I believe in miracles! Getting ready for this storm. Will be off line until it is over. This is why my home is on the market. Very hard to evac being disabled. I pray this storm passes and lets people get out of harms way. It isn't just me, it is the whole of the western state of Fla. in danger. I do ask for prayer for the state, and for those in harms way. I am frightened as I am 127 steps from the beach, tidal flooding will be the issue. If I had been able to move before, I would have. House was in a trust and it took legal stuff to do it. Off to get car cleaned. I do have a great evac site about 40 miles inland. God bless all of us. ginnie
