Isn't it great when you can feel in control or get some more info or whatever it is that can help you move ahead? Great news that you can look forward to a ride...that sounds like a great topper of a wish list!
Thanks for the vivid word pic of well-dressed and puking - what a great phrase!
Having had chronic knee problems till surgery 2 yrs ago, I can sure appreciate the absence of pain... and wouldn't mind eating anyone's dust to support their successfull recovery...
I'll just close my yap from my usual habit of flipping good-natured **** along the road to all - in a kidding, gently tweaking kind of way - so that I don't have to actually ingest it...still dealing with asthma and all...gotta watch that dust stuff!
Merry Christmas and Congrats, missliz - keep going!
