My good and dear friends, one and all..I am gaining strength and had a good go at the doc's, yesterday. I see the cardio on the 17th and will know more then, but for now all things are stable. The good news is I am 23 lbs lighter (20 of it was water!) and 4 pints up on blood.:-) I know this is in large part due to the walking pharmacy which I have become BUT I ALSO KNOW it is because of YOU.

I have a lot more to say, but will save it for a stronger day and maybe a new thread. IN the meantime, please allow this blanket THANK YOU FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART to suffice and may I beg of you a few more drams, naught fer yer livers, but fer my heart. I love the woods but these ones I'd just as soon leave behind. Please also think of Rog and Rue...they've been sore stressed, even perhaps more than m'self.

I love you all and there is nothing like that Mudcat Light!
