Leslie,
Thank you so much for your thoughts.
I'll tell you, I thought so highly of Hospice Nurses after my Dad had Hospice; however, now with Mom, they are just OVER THE TOP!!! we can't say enough POSITIVE things about them. They have been a god-send not just for me, bit especially for my SIL, who is Mom's primary care-giver. You guys who work Hospice have my undying respect & love!!
I don't know how you do it!!

I hope you have been well. Again, thanks so much for your su

I just realized that I never answered your question. I am a new grad...Dec, 2008. Just never knew what noc stood for. I sure do now...nocturnal! Thanks.

Hehehe!

PM ME stat...or I'll just PM you...lol..

It's HTML (Web Page Code). You know when you quote someone's post? You begin it like -> [ quote ]Quoted Text[ /quote ] <- You end it like that. Same goes in HTML except you use < and > instead of [ and ].

<begintag>DATA</endtag> The / means END.

<hate> <-start hate (Bad obviously)
</hate> <- end hate (Get it? End Hate!)

A bit geeky I admit.

/hate -> like /quote

It's Stanley btw

leslie! thank you so much for thinking of us. we are here in florida safe and sound and the cat did better than expected although she is not quite sure what to make of this new house. we are very happy to be home and have seen lots of family and friends already. things are looking up, i hope. <3

Thank you for your kind and welcoming words.

I'm taking life "one day at a time."

Yes, new beginnings. I can't wait. I'm very anxious at this point. I've been walking almost every day for about 30-45 minutes. The doc said I need to throw in some weight-lifting and to cut my carbs at night and keep them for during the day. So I've been keeping a Diet diary, been eating less than 1250 calories, some days about 1000-1100 calories. I've been getting at least 60gm of protein, somedays 80gms which has really helped.

Hi Leslie! Can you tell me what "noc" stands for? I see it alot on this site and have no idea what it means! Thanks.
