Great post, Cindy! I was up in Scottsdale on Sunday. As hot as it is in Tucson, we can't hold a candle to what's goin' on up there by you guys! Patti

Very good Cindy! I am so happy for you. You are soon to be a great loser! This has been a long journey, but I am sure it will be a successful one. Which hospital will you be at? Keep in touch with me. Dana
