James, it is so good to hear from you. It sounds like things have turned around a fair bit, and that is great!

Why not name the new bird "The Emperor" since he has a purple fringe (like an emperor's toga). grin

One thing concerns me. "I didn't do so bad while traveling because wasn't in too much pain or anything like that, but it sure made me sleep my head off when I got back."

It must have been very disconcerting to wake up and find your head gone. How did you reattach it? laugh2 Oh, I slay me.

Warm hugs,


Kat
