Here's "the rest of the story"...

One other note of interest on a different topic about my "almost 2 days
away"...
I had to make a trip in to Pittsburgh to the Breast Center at Allegheny
General Hospital for some follow-up diagnostics (it was all good news,
BTW!) and some of the questions they asked on intake were:

1) How many children have you had? and
2) *HOW MANY OF THEM WERE BREASTFED AND FOR HOW LONG?!!*

Oh yes, when I told them I was a Lactation Consultant...

They knew what that was!!
