I don;t think I have missed with any of the above names since Thursday night, See, just before midnight on Thursday I took myself to th ER. I had what I thought was an abcess in a sensitive spot. Turns out to have been another sort of infection. But because my blood sugar was unknown to me so high I was admitted and just got back this afternoon Sunday. Not how I planned on having my weekend go. So I was in for over 2-1/2 days. ---
