Thanks Corinne,

I have been living on the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce and

toast) trying to get better. I went for my labs today and I was so

dehydrated they had great difficulty getting any blood. The lab

tech told me to call my doctor so I did. Waiting for the call back,

you know how that is. Chat with you soon.

Hugs,

Tracie
