Hi everyone...<br /><br />Still cold here in Mpls.  It&#39;s 0 degrees right now.  Had kind of a rough night last night.  Had an esophageal spasm.  Boy...those things can hurt.  Can feel like a heart attack.  Sat up all night and tried to sleep in the chair.  I couldn&#39;t even swallow water last night but better today.  Have been off my GERD meds for awhile so I&#39;m taking some over the counter Prilosec right now till I can get in to see the doctor.  Marc is doing well...he has another treatment on Monday.  What a busy time for everyone.  I love this time of the year, though...if only it would warm up.  LOL  Thanks for all the good wishes, everyone.<br /><br />Mary lou...so glad you&#39;re having a great time&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl...I love that hairdo of Susan&#39;s...I&#39;m sure you look lovely.
