Thank you everyone! I'm only slightly conscious at the moment as I did not sleep well and I had to get up early because I have my appt. with my T in a couple of hours, but I wanted to thank you all for your generous comments
Violet - I love your description as well! I'll be back later to answer other posts when I'm more coherent!
