And great news about how helpful Mike has been. Sometimes kids'll really surprise us when they're needed. How much chili powder went into that pot of chili? just wondering - you might not want to wander too far afield with both a stool softener and chili powder working their way through you. <weg> When they start leaving the dressings off the incision, lather it up well with lotion and that should help some with the healing itching. I know it can really drive you up the wall sometimes! Do you have any of that Belly Butter Melinda has been teaching us all about?

If you can't find it or can't get to the store, talk to Melinda. She's our wellspring of information about it.
