It makes absolutely no logical sense to me how simply poking in my belly is going to make the pain stop, but indeed it did (maybe I had gas...haha) but seriously, I have no explanation for it - yet there it is, two days since he poked for a good 2 or 3 minutes straight, and now no pain. Like I said, I'm chalking it up to mind over matter, as in my mind playing tricks on me, but hey, I'll take no pain over the pain I had any day! Now don't get me wrong, we still want to figure out what caused the pain in the first place, and what's up, but I thank my Lord for this blessing of no pain, and that I didn't have to go under the knife! Just wanted to let those of you who may not have heard, know about this update.Oh, and to keep it related... Fishing trip to Manchester VT and then Oakland/ Waterville ME (both USA) is still scheduled for 2 weeks in July, (if near either location, private message me if you'd like to get together and/or if you can recommend fishing locations to go it alone with extremely mild wading conditions, preferably from the banks/ shoreline of the streams and rivers for trout and the likes) and hopefully this mess doesn't keep our family from that vacation / holiday. Hope this finds all of you well,-Pete -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
