For real, girlfriend!! I can't remember the last time I didn't have to go for that long. Well, I actually do have to go in 3 weeks for monthly liver function tests and B12 injection, but that is just for lab work, so I really didn't count that one!!

I guess you all noticed I had to change my font bigger!! I hope it doesn't offend anyone. My eyesight has gotten worse lately and I just couldn't read that tiny print!!
