Hi Heidi,

I will be happy to send you the articles that I have on hand on

splenectomies. But I will need you to send me your email

address via my email account as the ones that are published on

this board are truncated and I cannot send attachments through

the functions accessible through this board. You can send it to

me at goutbuster @ yahoo . com (I put spaces in this so the

program won't truncate mine - I guess it does this for privacy

reasons, but I don't mind giving out my yahoo account).

As far as your response to my " quota " comment - I got a big

chuckle from that as well as a nice feeling from your

compliments. Thank you! it is appreciated. I had a slow day at

work yesterday (as you can tell) and I felt that by the end of the

day that I had monopolized the board and its space. But I guess

that is how it goes - feast or famine. I figure that I am not very

good at offering moral or emotional support but I can offer

information from publications that are not accessible to the

general public (although that may change soon with some of the

new thinking that is taking place in scientific circles. It is

becoming apparent that because most research is supported by

tax-payer money that the taxpayers should have free access to

information generated from that research - I wholeheartedly

support this, but then, I am not much of a capitalist

myself....LOL). That is why I spend time on researching subjects

when people here ask me to. It is kinda fun and I end up learning

something about subjects that I might not have looked into on

my own.

I also can relate to the good day / bad day phenomenon......I just

wish there was a way to figure out what I do, or don't do, to make

things better. It seems like there has to be a logical basis to the

cycles and it can't be entirely up to chance, luck or the phase of

the moon....but if there is, I haven't figured it out yet. I hate having

things out of my control....I think that is the worst part of all of

this.....
