Oh Kelly, I'm sorry but I had to laugh. My cat climbs up on my computer
desk all the time, have to chase her off it constantly. How about this one
though. I had a braille book I was reading open on my bed. I left for a
while, came back and found she had thrown up on the book, and it wasn't
mine! So I had to clean it as best I could, call the library and tell them
what happened, and I offered to pay for the book but they were nice about
it. Cats, you gotta love em. I know, some people don't simply because they
are always into things, but that's part of their charm, and though I want to
wring her neck sometimes, she is so cute I can't stay mad at her long.

Dear Lord, help me to become the kind of person that my dog thinks I am.

Reggie and Sue S, my fellow medical freaks,
Thanks. It's fantastic that one of you may be able to help out with this
book. I wouldn't worry about the diagrams--finding someone willing to
describe them is really unlikely, and as Shelley pointed out, tactile
diagrams are available. If someone is going to use this book for a class
then their school should help them get access to the diagrams. Anyway, I
have to finish scanning the appendices, and there's one page that might not
come out too well because my cat, uh, sort of threw up on it. <lol> Oh well,
at least the book being there protected the scanner. and no, I don't allow
my cat on the scanner, she was actually on a shelf up above when it
happened. Disgusting creature! <lol> Anyway, I'll try to finish up the
scanning so I can submit. There may be junk blobs where some of the diagrams
are because some of them contained text, and because I was too in a hurry
when reading to delete and fix everything. But I'll be here and I'll have
the book, so I can be yelled at and asked to rescan pages if necessary.
<grin>
Kellie
