Joy, It takes an enormous amount of intestinal fortitude to do what you did, I admire you so much. I am so fortunate to work in a place without doctors hanging around and messing things up. Please draw strength from your (and our) belief that you did the right thing and sleep well tonight. Cheers Judy
