No wisdom to add, but am thinking about you and hoping for the best with your health issues. The not knowing is always hard by itself, let alone with the emotional upheaval that is the life of a new LBS. Big hugs to you.
Glad Vegas was at least sunny for you. I live in AZ, and we certainly were having a cold spell last week (50's and cloudy!) Glad to have it is back to 70's and sunny here. Hope wherever home is, it is sunny for you too. It so helps my mood and outlook on things.
Hope you come up with some fun or just relaxing plans for New Years.
