Thanks Jodi! I have tried real hard yesterday and today to eat like I
should. It has made a difference. I was afraid to leave the house
until I got the bathroom thing under control. I was feeling a little
sorry for myself Friday, but you know how much difference a good nights
sleep and a new morning can change things I am sure. I am going to wait
out the met and see what happens, I do feel better today though. Thanks
again, I will be "lurking". Paula
