Pictures from my hospital stay

I thought I would share some pictures with everyone from my hospital stay. There were many more pictures, but for some reason the page wouldn't accept them...some kinks I guess I have to figure out.
So look to the left and enjoy.
Thanks again to my many visitors who gave me tons of encouragement and pepped me up!!! And to everyone else for your continued support and positive thoughts. I know I have the strength to get through this!!!

I'm happy to see the pictures and know that you felt good enough to celebrate your 1st anniversary. We still have a lot of snow on the ground here but heard you are having Springtime there so enjoy the sunshine. Rick and I will be in Florida for 2 weeks but I'll be checking on you and sending prayers and positive energy for your next cure treatment. Maggie
