Not what I was wanting to hear :( But good to know...I'll have to be very careful!!

Thanks - I will defintley do that. It's on my "ToDo List" this week :)
I can't believe that you heard something back in a week - my doctors office insists that everything is turned in but its been since the 30th of December and I have still not heard anything.
