In case this posts twice, I got this back from the list. I'm not sure what happened, as I have only sent it once. It was returned, saying that it was already posted to the list. First of all, the good news. Dad had the collagen injection in his voacl cords last Friday (Sept. 5). Even though he still sounds a bit "froggy" his voice is loud and strong! (Doing cartwheels here! LOL) Barb M. thanks again for posting and all the info. Sid, thanks for passing that posting along to Dad! We're all grateful to you both. Now for the (possibly) bad news. I'm going to be leaving the list :( . Hopefully only until tomorrow sometime :). This computer has to go back to my classroom, and tomorrow's the day. I won't know until tomorrow if I can get back on this list, without putting our whole school on it. Anyway, I'll check my mailbox once more tonight (around 11 PM Eastern), just to make sure I don't miss anything, then take myself off the list. It's been really fun getting to know everyone and Dad and I have learned a lot from all of you! See ya later! Trish >>
