Ida, I have been busy and lazy and have not taken the time to welcome you back to the list. I am happy for the improvements you have gotten from the surgery, and wish you continued improvement as time goes on. I want to thank you for what I will call an armchair trip around the world. It was interesting to know that the Turkish people seem to be more mature and gracious about helping someone when they are temporarily disabled. That is a good reason for me to want me to visit them, if I ever get enough time off from my job to do some world traveling. You are an adventurous person, and I admire your spirit to not let PD keep you at home. One question, is Turkish tea as strong as their coffee? Just remember, to the list, you are most visible, and when you were gone, you were missed. [log in to unmask]
