agree with Dennis, very helpful info. Sweet of you to post it.

my heart is with everyone here. I just stopped by to catch up on what

everyone is talking about. I wish I could respond to everyone but I

would pay a hefty price. Somehow pulled one of my fingers trying to

stand, long story, but it is getting worse on the prednisone or maybe

it was going to be worse without the prednisone. So will keep it

short. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone here and your unique

situations.

take care.
