Glad to hear Darth is doing well.  We miss you DV, and are sending speedy recovery thoughts your way!   :flower;

And...I wonder if Dougal is behind bars yet?  Can't you just picture him looking through the bars of a cell?

Thought you'd gotten rid of me, didn't you???...

Nice try making the morphine almost kill me, but sorry, I'm made of stronger stuff than that!!!!...

Dealing with pain far better at home... I take meds when I need them, not at 'the appropriate intervals'... And I've gone onto the milder stuff... The OxyContin, and Oxynorm made me SO sick!!!!...

Still, I'm back now, and sleeping it all off....

Thank you SO much for your thoughts and prayers...

Biggest thank you to Bill for the call... It was LOVELY to speak to you.... Erm, Ladies... Bill has the most dreamily deep voice I've ever heard... Could listen to him for AGES!!!!!....

As my mum would say "A voice like Testerone on legs!"....

Be good all.....

Love...

Darth....
