[Phone Calls...]

Val,

I would keep calling unless asked not to. At least by the calls your Mom and Dad both know that you are thinking about them and love them. Your parents are blessed to have such a loving and caring daughter. And Congratulations on that baby girl, be sure to post a picture upon her arrival.

Best Wishes,

Dee

[Has therapy helped you?]

Andrea,

No, I have never seen a therapist. I guess I have been very fornunate. I have never felt depressed over my illness, well no longer than a few hours or a day. When I was going through my treatment I told myself everyday I was going to make it. And Andrea I have never measured my breast either, but its not that much to measure.

Glad to see that Joel has improved so much. My husband too is on medication due to having no thyroid. Glad to see Joel has gained some of his weight back. Hopefully he will not be like me. I had to go out and buy larger clothes, now they are tight. Probally time to take some off.

[what is it with the food network??]

The Food network is great. I really didn't watch it when I was sick. But I watch it some now. Everyday Italian is good, Barefoot Contessa is also good. My favorite is Paula's Homecooking. I just love Paula Dean. I have three of her cookbooks. Everytime I make a new dish, my family ask if this a Paula dish. Real down home southern cooking. The downside is we all have gained weight.
