Thanks, Dave. Greatly appreciated. Those small "heart-shaped" pillows given to me have been as good as the painkillers.

From my experience, the toughest part is about a month out. Hang in there. It's worth it. I'm also praying you're spared the urge to sneeze for the foreseeable future. I broke some ribs once. Coughs hurt, but a sneeze will push you to the threshhold of passing out. It's good to read you're in good spirits and recovering well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
