thanks, i can actually see the light at the end of this tunnel and i can't wait to come out the other side!! it can't come quickly enough. these last days are the longest of them all. it is the same feeling i had waiting to go into labor with my kids!! how funny is that??? just waiting to meet the new person--- and THAT would be ME!!! i'm thinking this whole experience will help to keep me young at heart!! new adventure, new life, new found self!! it is all a gift...even though i hate the illness that has forced me to come to this conclusion, i believe it is thick cloud that has a silver lining for ME!!!
