Gini, I had heard that story before but now I read all the nasty details
It is true, for us ladies who have been 39 10 years long the healing takes a lot longer than for all the kids out there.
I am glad to hear you are on the mend however.
I heard one time that cat purr should be a good frequency for healing bones and I hope this is true.
All best wishes from Germany again.

(And BTW I wish someone de-frosted us )
