News from Jane (around noon):
I just talked to Irene (then I missed a message from Wendi), saying that she had a relatively easy night and that she has opted to go home this afternoon! She is feeling pretty good, took a little stroll with ‘Rene, learned how to deal with the drainage tubes. She’s charging ahead!

As always you are up-and at them…ready to go and primed to find something in what you are going through. I love that your friend posted for you so that your dear constant readers could drop in and see how you were. I didn’t know any of this about you. I just liked how you wrote. Now I know WHY you write so well 🙂
