Stewart,
It was a shock, but she is very much on the mend, everything will be as before, other than it is now very clear that she is now a non drinker, if she wants to live a long life.
I can't go very long without thinking about food, but I don't think about drink in the same way. I love a glass of really good red with a meal, but I can do with out. I am drinking alcohol free San Miguel, it is really good. Caroline is hitting the Ginger Beer... !
