So sorry to hear that Alex, you seem to have one problem after another don't you? Wasn't it all that long ago you were in having an operation on your leg?
What with the arthritis, the lung infections, stomach problems, leg operations etc, I'm considering booking us a group trip to Lourdes.
Ice, you were the one most tender with the rivers.
You, the roof of the waves, layer after layer after layer ...
thank you for the nice support messages !
Lourdes, here we come
I believe in your smile everyday
But I know that you're far from my way
When I talk to the moon I can hear you
In the dark I can see, I can feel your light
I shortly visited Fatima years ago, can't say it worked...maybe because I didn't pray nor light a candle, I was hanged-over and running to any available wc!

I'd love to go to Lourdes one day, actually, just to watch the procession. It's supposed to be very moving. I'm such a sucker for Catholic theatre, which is what it is, really. I'm sure it's the high emotion of the whole thing that effects any 'cures' that happen there.
One of our neighbours when I was a kid went to Lourdes with a sick relative, and she told us the water 'feels funny'. She described it as being unlike any water she'd previously seen, which I guess demonstrates the power of religious suggestion. Water is water, at the end of the day.
