Good news.  The new diet is working. I have had 2 BMs in the last 2 weeks. Hooray. We are making progress. My niece also sent some money, so I made an appointment with a physiotherapist to make a home visit for a reasonable charge, It seems that the muscle in my left leg is disappearing because it gets no exercise. I have to find some exercises to get it back again. I hope it is possible. I also have to start my dear everyone Christmas letter, It all sounds so normal but I can hardly walk now and everything has to be carefully preplanned. Lots of love to you all and keep the prayers coming.     Cas
