Hi there Steve,, as you already know these members have all given you good advice. Keep a positive attitude and as you have EATing is the best thing you can do for yourself. I was never one to just sit and sleep but kept busy outised or in and igored the Drs adivce to take it easy. The Drs didn't like it at 1st but now say they wish all of their patients would keep busy, drink a lot of water and keep the smile going. I never have complained to any of them and still don't > Hell I'm no Dr and just let them do what they have to. You have many great boosters here and trhe list will grow as time passes. If you ask, someone will give you the answer. Good luck... Jim
