oh, my...such relief to have weights lifted! I understand Jerry's, because I have a tiny bone spur on my 3rd cervical vertebrae, which had caused serious pain & numbness on my arms...I had cortisone injection which 'seem' to have controlled it, so i can do my work...but the big one was when we got a call from Johns Hopkins hospital 7½ yeas ago saying that they had a donor heart for Rita after she had spent months lying in bed....1995 was the year I did nothing but cope.

I'm so glad the prognosis is good, Jerry... having met her, I know how she would hate to be 'down' instead of doing things.

And, wow, Don....that's quite a story! Like coming out of a long, tedious dream, I'd bet! Live long and enjoy the new space!
