Stacey,

I'm sorry for laughing, but your Pope dream was too much. The " romp "

story was hilarious, too. Good call not to tell him about the cramp,

LOL! Somehow I think that fella will be back for more.

I'm concerned that your edema isn't getting any better. I think you said

someone checked out your kidneys, but have you seen a nephrologist or

urologist? It sounds very uncomfortable, too.

It's great that you are doing so many fun things. I hope your are not

getting worn out.

Are you still cigarette-free?
