Hi
Jill, so glad you survived your attack and didn\'t need surgery. That episode sounded very scary and so painful. Hopefully with avoidance of certain foods, you can hold these attacks off. I so enjoy your blog and look forward to every one. Your descriptions make me feel like I was there living it with you. Stay well, Cori (Kathy's sister).

Sorry you struggled with your GB health but it sounds like you made the right decision not to have it removed. Uggghhh. I love that you are going back to work at Mandala. We so enjoyed our stay there. Good luck buying your "newish" truck. Stay well. Love you.
