Barb, I am sorry I haven't posted to you or read this until now. Been under the weather with very nasty congestion and keep putting off callling the Dr. You have all of the good I can muster from this inner body and soul. Please forgive me for being late reading your post. I have you at the top of my prayer list and am praying the Drs are wrong. I enjoy your emails and hope to be getting them years from now. Smile and be positive " Bloop".
