Hi Hap,

I understand that.  Sometimes you do need to use the meds on a regular
basis longer than you really wanted to initially tho to get full benefit
or allow healing without hurting.

That's your decision.  My view is, if I don't use the meds and it hurts
to do something, then it's worse than using the meds and and not having
the hurt.  IOW, if I don't use the meds and it affects the way I walk so
that I'm straining, twisting or otherwise subjecting another part of the
leg to injury, then it's better to use the meds so I can walk properly.
Clear?

She should get some, Valentines's Day is tomorrow (today, when you get
this because I'll upload on the 14th) so there's no excuse not to have
some chocolate. (G)

 HN> I have not seen the boat but from

So you will have to clean and cook it at home.  But, by the same token,
it might be a way to get Anne interested in trying just a bit,
especially if it smells so good while cooking. (G)

Yes, and there's something fishy about most of those stories.
