thanks, girls

the drugs are doing their thing, and I can talk again. I reckon the swelling is down to only 40% and the pain is down to 20% ... this is looking good, and I'm really praying that it will all be back to normal by morning ... and that the blood tests come up clean on Tuesday

and nickers - don't read too much into the personal bests ... I only got 20mls earlier during one of my pumps ... ever drop counts, that's my view anyway!
