MaryAnn, I am so happy to hear things are going ok. If your shopping, cooking, cleaning and even running your daughter to a concert....you MUST be feeling pretty GOOD all things considered. Have I...or anyone else here told you lately that your are a TRUE INSPIRATION. (I know, you've never heard that before.)

I am so happy that you had some time to just enjoy and spend time with your family and do what you wanted to do for a while. We all need to recharge our batteries.

You honestly just amaze me...you have no idea just how much! You always have such a great attitude, great sense of humor and there seems to be nothing that can stop you or even slow you down. And now we find out you have went so far as to PACK your own parachute. LOL (Sure you did.) hahaha Actually...the more I think about it...you probably did. HA!

Now that this doctor has had time to get to know you a bit...I bet he DIDN'T take you up on that bet..did he! He knew he would lose.

Thanks for updating all of us...its so nice to hear that your doing so well considering all you have been through. Sending your warm healing thoughts. Hang in there.
