Last night my daughter had a small mishap at a friends house and needed stiches in her forehead. My husband has a horrible cold and I really didn't think an ER needed that so I picked her up and took her. She got two stiches and is fine. I am in a ER at midnight and I felt normal. I was estatic. My daughter told me to quit smiling.

    Hope your daughter is okay now.
    Isn't it nice to have some moments when you feel normal?! Hope you continue to have those moments more frequently!

    Cheers!

    Normal is so wonderful.
    Mark and I were just talking about how cancer has taught us to enjoy every day. How even a trip to the ER and not be the one on the table can in its own strange way feel good. Mark and I rode 20 miles on our newly acquired bikes today. I am exhausted. He is going out to have dinner with his son. Sieze the day!
    Great to hear about good; great to hear about normal. Thanks Judy.
