Maria,
I don't know why but reading your posts brings back memories of having babies. You forget the pain until either going through it again or something reminds you about it. Your posts remind me of the pain I used to suffer. I cringe right along with you.
On the good side, watching the discovery and science channels, I learned a little about a lot of interesting facts that don't really matter. It beats reruns of Will and Grace!
Please take care and I so hope your father does well enough that you can minimize your trips to Florida. I know how exhausting traveling can be.
