I'm glad to hear your came through it ok, sounds like a nasty case. I'd
like to suggest you check out Dr. John Lee's book on menopause. It has
all the information you'll need to make the healthiest decisions about
HRT. His website is http://www.johnleemd.com and his books are also available
at many health food and book stores. Take care of yourself and don't
puch too hard, take plenty of relaxed time to recover!
