Thanks for the thread, P4B, and the good wishes from others. Birdie can use the positive vibes. She's had her share of heart stuff to deal with, but this inflammation of her valves is not a good thing. I read her your replies by phone just a few moments ago and she laughed in response. Thanks for that. I'll provide anohther update tomorrow when I get a chance. Don't worry about the earlier post, Slipknot. I appreciate that P4B checked with us on that first, and she's fine with the basic info here.

Y'all take care. Thanks again.
