Thank you Mjo. My cough has improved with the addition of a humidifier and and air purifier in my house. Looking forward to being NED, too very, very soon.

I've got my high heeled boots ready for the chorus line. Can we do the can can (one of my favorites)? I do feel like the baby of the group. Kind of nice, actually, since I tend to feel a bit old around others my age, these days.

Anyway, it does feel better to know my plan now. This experience has taught me how to ask for help. I never needed it so much before. Turns out, it's not so hard. The response has been overwhelming. There truly is safety in numbers.
