Thanks to all of you for your care and concern.

Glad to hear Dollie's doing well. Sleeping is good, it's really the best thing for her at the moment. Take care of yourself too, try to get some sleep when Dollie's sleeping and eat good, quality food. You're important too!Surgery March 3, 2009 at almost 58, now 63.
