    Glad to hear Don did well with his surgery.
    Take care of yourself. Sounds like you both have a pretty long road ahead, so the caregiver needs to take care, too!

    Oh Mimi, that is wonderful news. I am so happy for you both.

    Now go home and get some rest. There is still the recovery from the surgeries to deal with and you need some sleep!

    Mimi, your sleep issues are definitely stress related. Anxiety is a huge part of sleep issues.
    PM me for some suggestions, if it doesn't get better.

    Shefly, thanks for telling me about that. Its much better knowing she's not going to be completely cut off. She's a tough kid, all this will do is maybe convince her she might want to spend Christmas back here with us where it's nice and warm.

    Mimi, I'm so happy for you guys!!! Now go rest up!!

    Catrin, I'm so sorry. Hope the doctors got it all and that your mom will heal quickly and easily.

    Dear screaming dreams, please go away tonight. Thanks.
