I just wanted to thank all those LJs who sent me Pms and encouraging posts that helped me though my latest medical issues which put me in hospital for a week. All your words of hope and good wishes stayed with me all the way to the operating table and into recovery. The surgery was sucussful, although I was cut more that I expected, and my anesthetist’s IV leaked into my arm and blistered half the arm. I have 2 badly placed wounds that won’t tolerate movement but I see an improvement daily. I know I have a long road to recovery, but keeping in touch with you guys will do wonders. Please be aware that all your messages mean’t so much, I didn’t have to face it alone. I am very lucky to have such friends and remind you all that my problems pale to what some others endure, especially service personel (UK and US) who put their lives on the line each day and pay an awful price for US. Always give a kind thought for them. It is going to be a long road back for me …. and I will make it because of all my buddies, friends and cheerleaders at LJs. Thank you all so much for your generosity, God bless all of you,
