Have you gone in to the technical forum? If you do not see the answer please post the question with as much detail as you can. I cannot help now but after when I get home I would be hoppy to try and walk you through it. It is a fussy program, it is a royal PITA to learn and if you don't do it all correctly it is unforgiving (sorry Admin )
I will check in later

We were like you--once the decision regarding going ahead with the surgery was made, we just wanted the nasty leg gone--it couldn't be too soon!!

Getting antsy now... and a little worried. And I know there is a lot going on... just a quick check in to say the Cookie Monster pulled through like the champ that she is would make me (us) feel a little better... going to be impatiently patient now

Good news! I heard from Doug, Cookie did great and is recovering. They did rads on the rest of her limbs and found no issues so they proceeded with the surgery. She will be there until Sunday. Quote from Doug:
Will you post for me The DR called at 1200 and said the surgery went well The oncologist advised that they x ray all other limbs before surgery and her other limbs showed no tumors so they went ahead with surgery She is resting comfortably and they will keep her until Sunday morning for observation when I pick her up and bring her home
I know it is an emotional time, and I also know a lot of people are waiting for any word, so here it is
Hugs to all,
Jackie
