Hang in there, girl! The end is in sight...I am so sorry about the

leg numbness and pain you are having, but thrilled the little ones

and you are doing well....

I have to say, your description of trying to put on underwear,

though I can understand how frustrating, has truly left me with a

smile on my face...lol, your description is priceless...good for you

for trying to maintain your sense of humor.\

You are in my thoughts, Toi,
