Barb,, welcome to our home and a lot of good friends with great advice. I did notice that your Dr isn't bad to look at either. LOL You ladies are worse than we guys. You have a great attitude and will beat this. The worse part is the wondering how long for things. Time goes by a lot faster than one would think tho. I wore my at home clothes in the bed after I was awake enough to put them on. Good luck lady and keep up with the positive outlook on things, It makes a difference. Heck, I was walking the halls more than in the room.
