Michael, it's great to take a "holiday" from whatever ails us.Bravo! We do hope you will remember, as you progressively improve, that you now have a wealth of information to share about getting well. I don't know what cereals you are eating, but John has been eating old fashioned Cream of Wheat for 2 mo. now[and has our 18 mo. old hooked on it] and lots of ham[diced very small] and cheese omlets. Glad to hear you are doing well. Amy
