Thanks Anne and everyone for all the well wishes. After a week, I was
released from the hospital and am now recouperating at home. Hopefully by
April, I will be dancing a jig. <g>
Thank you all for the cards, etc., they made my day! You are all the best
not to mention moo'varleous!
It's good to be back. Special thanks to MAK for holding down the fort while
I was away.
Happy, happy New Year to one and all!
Tina
