Message from Karyn

It's officially three weeks (and one day) since the surgery. I feel
like I am turning a corner in strength and lucidity which is very
exciting for me. I intend to continue to feel better at this rate and
I feel like I can conquer anything (six more weeks of treatments
included). Our good news is that the doctors have determined that I
will be going home on February 27th at 2pm, which is one month after
going into Marin General for my "sinus headache".

Julian is (in true Julian form) educating himself about alternative
medicinal treatments, nutritionists and other mind-body therapies. I
know there is something in these alternative treatments that will
work for me.

We appreciate everyones enthusiasm and input and we will check back
soon....

Bye everyone and eat well!

Love,

~Karyn (as transcribed Julian)
