Lilian, Thank you very much. I just got back from the doctor's and I'm scheduled for the 22nd . He was telling me today that they might have to remove some of my bowel because I've got a lot of lesions around there. This means a feeding tube. I admit that I'm a bit afraid of waking up and feeling like I'm choking because of a tube...He's going to make a horizontal incision rather than a vertical one...better i suppose. How long did it take you to feel a bit like your old self? Did you have a bit of energy the next day? Amanda
