All,

I can't thank you enough for your support and advice! I started a blog on Wordpress but only put one entry, so it's not very robust yet. I will also check out Caring Bridge as well. I do think that is the best approach to spread information without individually responding to every text and voicemail. Whew!

While I'm going through surgery and recovery, I'm going to refer everyone to my mother as she will be in town visiting me for two weeks. So, she can be my spokesperson for a bit. I hate to lay that on my husband as he's so busy with work and needs to be my PR for his family already.

Since I do have tongue cancer, I can easily use the excuse that I can't speak very well and point people to the blog..right? :-)

Thanks again for listening and providing advice,

Gina
