Glad to hear you are doing well. A vacation from the board is allowed, but only if you warn us in advance. You had us (or at least me) all worried.
Actually a real vacation is a very good idea when you are feeling up to it. My husband and I went to St. Kitts 5 months after my treatments and it did me a world of good. Let me know I could still do things I loved, like travel, even if I coulndn't eat everything. It was a great 'pick me up'.
Do you have the Inn open again already? Sounds like your energy level has improved immensely. Hope you get to do some fun things in NYC this time and get them to give a name of a West Coast doctor you can see when there is a problem.
Take care,
Eileen
