Annie:

Please accept this from a happily married old fart old enough to be your dad:
"You're definitely a 'hottie'!"
You've worked hard to look as wonderful on the outside as I suspect you've always looked on the inside! Way to go! Enjoy life fully knowing food is only necessary fuel to energize you for all you encounter! Blessings from BillH

Yet again too much time has passed!
What a year it has been... I got engaged!!! I got to visit the US - California in June / July, and the bad part - I nearly died 3 times in 6 months!
In May I got a twist in my intestine. After going from emergency room to emergency room I decided to go to Prof who did my GBS. He rushed me into theatre only to find I had a twist in my small intestine. He assured me it was not related to the GBS - no adhesions or anything like that. Just a freak thing that happens to some people. 8 weeks later, I had a huge absess on my ovary which ruptured. More surgery, lost an ovary and was in ICU for a week. Again, no adhesions or any clear reason why this happened. In December - another twist in my intestine! Fortunately I knew the symptoms so I got to prof early. We are looking into why this happened to me 2x... I may have some colon disease or something. But anyway, I am positive and optimistic that that was IT and 2010 is going to be healthy and happy!
I get married in just over 3 weeks time!!!!! Will post some pics up then!
