Welcome Back Englishman !
I am glad to see you posting so soon, that's a good sign...unless you're dis-obeying the Doc's orders!? My Mom died from a burst colon...weakened by colon cancer, (Sorry, to you Xena ) so I understand how seriously sick a person can get with this.
Take care of yourself...
Oh yeah, most women do seem to be better care-givers...it comes naturally.
