Is this what you had in mind?

Thanks muchness Moogie, couldn't find them in the Smilies box and I always say a Good Hug can work wonders between friends:thumbs: But only when the other half ain't watching cos Issy (my other half for near 35 years) has ally wheels on her chair now :smoking:
Anyhoo, we know all about health problems and especially recurring problems with both us and our family. Actually, Issy has a blood test every month and only 2 of 8 nurses and 1 of 9 docs will attempt those. Blood out of a stone comes to mind. Thankfully, apart from one issue, none of our problems are life threatening, just painful and inoperable and lots of them. But life goes on and more hopefully, for a long time.
