Cool

Hi all! And thanks for the support. Sorry to say I am just home (again) from another 3 days in the hospital. Oddly enough - I caught a stomach bug and they put me back in just to keep me hydrated and under a watchful eye. This time they also put me on Lexapro - thought it might be a good idea with two major surgeries and two scopes in a month...admittedly a rough time for me. Thanks for the kind words all! And DebK - you name the weekend and we'll be there - the boys can go drink a few while we spend some $$$ on new skinny people clothes! Of course since Mike's dropping like a rock too - he might want to shop too.

Penny,
I'm so glad you are out of the grips of the hospital and beginning to heal. I read someplace (probably here) that we go to the hospital for treatment, but we come home to heal. That's exactly what I have been doing--1-2 naps a day, early to bed. And each day I wake up just a titch better.

The Mall of America is my old stomping grounds! I lived literally a few minutes from there, and spent quite a bit of time there. I think parking by Macy's gets you close to a covered walkway right into the store. That way you can leave your coats in the car and not be burdened by them while shopping. And watch out for the Cinnabon by Sears--it's a killer...

I will keep you in my prayers that you get through this with a quick and speedy recovery! And also that you see that light at the end of the tunnel soon!
