I hope that your cholecystitis settles down and that they can get that gallbladder out soon, this before it causes you more grief. As an aside, I am going to be heading East on Monday to spend a visit with the grandkids, and also to attend an *elementary school* reunion in Baltimore (I haven't seen those folks in 45+ years!) which will include the neighbors on "the old block" where I grew up. I will be chacking mail but not as frequently as usual. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P.
