She is still alive, I had to run out to a job interview so Dub stayed here...She has not long for this world though..she is lying all curled up in a little ball and barely breathing...We both feel so guilty...maybe if we did not remove that band, she wo uld still be alive..but her leg would have blown up..it was that badly swollen around the band...Fletcher will be happy to see her..I will let you all know..pray that it won't be long.
