Do you still come around here? I think of you often. It's virually certain, but unspoken still, that I have diabetes, but I'm going to see if I can stop it with diet and exercise, I was afraid this might happen, once I started with the steroid ointment, but worse things have happened. I hope you're well. hugs, doug
