Hi Carol,

That it would!  We used to have a wood burning stove as our main source
of heat but that was before my asthma diagnosis.  In some ways I miss it
but don't miss having to feed it and the fact that the house always
smelled a bit smoky.

And hopefully the weather will co operate.

 CS> Ok, luck on that!  Hopefully it won't make you feel too sick for the

Some people I've talked to have said it's no big deal, others have said
that you get completly wiped out.  One person mentioned that it does
drive your immune system wacky so you are more susceptable to things so
I will have to watch that.  It's still bronchitis season for me.  But,
at least it's not chemo treatments.

Yes, but get the referral and get it done. Then pamper yourself by
having Charlotte cook dinner that night. (G)

 CS> Yup!  Lots of ideas flying around now too!

And one will settle down eventually so final plans can be made.
Meanwhile, I've got to clean/sort the freezer here; the thing is pure
full!  Should have gone for a 10 cubic foot one. (G)
