I have a neighbor, 78, who is very sweet. An old farmer curmudgeon here in Vermont. She lives alone, and today she had gall bladder surgery. A few weeks ago, she was on the Maternity floor with a gallbladder attack. For lack of space, they put her on Maternity. One of the nurses who knows me, decided to give me a hard time. When I called to check on my friend, they said she was fine...but it was HELL trying to get her to breastfeed! Kathleen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Kathleen B.
