04/03 - left for New York!  Saw four shows. Went to the Museum of Natural History. Saw the new building at Ground Zero. Did some shopping. Went to taping of Katie Show. Saw Colin Firth!  Lots of walking, lots of good eating, lots of fun. 

04/08 - returned home.

SO EXHAUSTED!

I am enjoying my time between Chemo and surgery, but feel like I am going to keel over. Heading to bed now for some much needed sleep.  So sorry I have been MIA!!!  I hope to post again soon with more details and better explanations. 

Lots of love to you all!!!!
