Working Girl

Thanks for your continued postings!!! It's so great to hear from so many of you!!!
I went into work this afternoon and I saw 5 patients. It was so nice to get back in there and treat patients again. My energy level was good and I didn't seem to have any trouble making it through the afternoon. I will go back in for a couple of hours on Thursday afternoon.
I've even been feeling strong enough to get out and do some weeding and tree trimming in my front garden. But, wow, I must say that weeding is hard and tedious work.

Look at you back at work!!! You are an amazing girl!! Good luck with the scarf - knitting is a very fun and relaxing activity once you get past figuring out how to do it!! 'Stitch 'n Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook' is a great book to get you started!! And has some fun projects in it!!

Keep kicking butt!! You are in our prayers!

Love Maria & Ted
