Going in for a colonoscopy on Tuesday. The results will determine plan of care...looking forward to a definite plan.

In Other News:
Sorry about the coughing (and the lag)! The only thing that works is cough drops, and I didn't want to record with a cough drop in my mouth the whole time.
The trip was great, other than being sick the whole time. Gotta love the super cold. Got to relax and see family, which is exactly what we wanted to do. So glad that we'll be back in 4 months!
I'm starting up a new blog about food, which you can find at http://realrecipesfortherestofus.blogspot.com/
Alexz is fantastic, and thank you so much to everyone who has donated. His family really needs it now that the bills will be rolling in shortly. There's still time to DONATE and enter to win fantastic prizes!
