today is friday- may 10th and i spoke to chris a little while ago- she is at home and doing fantastic- actually the first time i called today, she was gone to conroe- she felt good enough to go out but she let herself go to long without eating(drinking) so later when i spoke to her she was steadily gettin it on that treadmill- you go girl- thankyou chris for all your help- im really getting excited about my surgery since im right behind you- i love you, your best and longest friend, april
