Hi Sara,

Tiger is trying to hold on! Like I said before sometimes it just

feels like I am stuck in this time warp and I wake up and it's the

same day as yesterday...(haha) I am like what's up with that date

not getting any closer..(haha)

Glad to hear that talking is coming a little bit easier for you. That

has got to be frustrating not having others understand what you are

trying to say. My coworkers are excited that I may return to work

and not be able to talk. I love to talk and probably talk their

heads off..(haha) That's okay, they are going to be bored without

me here next month..(haha)

I guess you are right in the doctor waiting to give the

prescriptions after surgery. He is probably wanting to wait to see

how much pain etc. I am having to know what to prescribe. It sounds

like a good explanation if nothing else..(haha)

Anyway, thanks for the movie update in one of your other post. Maybe

I will venture out to see that movie this weekend. I

keep thinking that maybe I need to get a little sun also because I

am white as a ghost! Boy those bruise marks after surgery are

really going to stand out on this white skin..(haha)

Have a Great Day,
