Thanks guys. Quick reply.
Elisabeth - I remember that - the people not really listening/understanding. Fortunately, our doctors weren't among those people.
Lara - I missed that one - thought I got it.
Anyway - I ended up at the hospital to see our nurse practitioner whose son is having the same surgery that mine did last year [talk about surreal when your practitioner calls *you* for... advice for lack of a better term]. They're transporting him from our town to St Louis for the surgery earlier this week [he as other complications so they can't do his here]. Those that pray - if he crosses your mind, I'm sure they'd appreciate a prayer - the little boy's name is James and he's 6m old.
More later... gotta go clean...
