Hospital-wise, I think it was more what I stopped eating while I was there.Interesting item that didn't fit in that piece: my colon was so ulcerated that there was not enough healthy tissue to perform a colostomy, which is what they wanted to do to 'save my life'.Eight years later my father got colon cancer -- colostomy, chemo, radiation and dead in 10 months Thanks for the feedback.

Keep up the good work. JL Great, thoughtful approach.
