Ceilidh,

Hope you caught todays show. When Dr. Stan was talking to Jill about her health issues... it was stated that her original surgery was 11 years earlier (or maybe they said 7... got bad ears!) and that he asked her if she had a stroke and temporary blindness in one eye.. and she confirmed that. I guess his point was fear was also a factor in why she was neglecting dealing with the remaining fibroid all this time. At least the last 3 years it had been causing pain. Anyway.. I knew I didn't imagine that 'blindness' issue.

Yes, I did catch the show! I "heard" 11 years! No wonder she is afraid to face the surgery again...the first time you don't know what to expect, but you certainly wouldn't have been thinking in terms of stroke or blindness! I think I would need some pushing too.
