hey, folks-- if you've written me lately, i'm not ignorning you. my outbound email is being all whackadoodle. tech's coming back tomorrow with a new modem for me, though, so i'll get back to you asap when functional again.
quick update for folks asking about my health: i see the doc next on 1 april *gulp* -- not april fool's day!!! :P anyway, no surgery is planned as of yet. the MRI has to be done still (doc screwed the pooch on my first appt. to go), and i'll know more in april, i spoze. thanks for the prayers, support, good words and all. y'all rock!
