Have also not been around for a while however am on holidays at the moment so have had a quick look at the latest postings.
Back to work on Monday.
Was reading some posts this morning on the burning sensation on the tongue and have had that now since the initial operation in September 2006. Must get it check out.
Am looking forward to meeting AussieH for a coffee today.
Cheers
