this is it folks, she comes home tonight. we ( me and our son ) are awaiting her phone call to come and get her. she is in some pain still but that is to be expected since they took away the cool stuff lastnight. i'm sure she will be in touch with everyone who has asked about her or sent cards, and besides, she will be camping out in the living room for about a week ( we have two of the most comfy recliners ever made ) and the puter is in the next room...easy access ! later and good night. steven 02-05-02 5:30 pm
