To all: catching up and saying Thanks

The past while has been really bad in terms of recuperating from the
blood poisoning. I'm on a third course of antibiotics and surgery is
slated for Wednesday next in the afternoon.

Since I was stupid enough to leave the tooth and allow the infection
to take hold and spread, I've damaged 3 other teeth in the process and
caused bone damage to my jaw. Saw the Xray yesterday and my sinuses
are really messed up as well as a bunch of other stuff I now have to
deal with. There's a good possibility I'll have to have dentures
because of the damage both upper and lower. I'll know better in a few
months.

I didn't think that ignoring just one tooth could cause so much havoc
on my body. I'm hoping the chest pains are temporary and caused by a
really bad case of nerves.

Anyway - I'm going to take a sabbatical and to get better.

Since my ISP is cancelling access to Usenet tomorrow, I'll be cut of
directly from accessing you all. I wanted to thank all you you for all
the super advice and good humour, as well as the recipes and years of
wisdom.

My thoughts and prayers are with those of you like George who are
recuperating (George if you see this, I had a mild stroke last year
which affected my speech. I get stuck with words and my gait is a bit
awkward. The nice thing about typing answers is that you don't hear my
long pauses while I try to get the word out, my sentences are smooth
and without pauses! <G> Stay strong, George, and I'm praying for your
full and speedy recovery!)

Anyway - I'll read your posts through Google once I get through the
next couple of weeks and catch up. In the meantime thank you all once
again for your wit and wisdom, your advice, recipes and kindness.

Until then
Karen
