Thanks, everyone, for all the prayers and good wishes. I plan to sail through this with flying colors (maize and blue, the U-M colors, anyway)!

And thanks, Gretchen and Elyse, for the tips on using your cell phone and checking about using a laptop, or even better if they have laptops available for the patients to use.

My sister will have my laptop and will bring it to me when I know I can use it. A catsitting client who is a social worker at the U told me that if I bring my own laptop, there might be a risk of it being stolen.

Thanks again! I am at Starbucks on my laptop right now (still don't have internet at home). Will try and get to the library later this afternoon for another check-in before the big day.
