Very very kewl, Kate!
I'm so happy it went well and there was less needed doing then thought.
You sound really good!
You deserve an easier time of it...heck, you've earned it, m'dear! Rest
well -- I'm sending loads of healing vibes and really massive bandage wishes
for a better New Year!
Whew!! :-) Hugs from Rosie
