Sikan,
Just noticed your move over here. I was wondering a little about the old thread. While I seem to be heading down a different path, I will continue to check in. I might not be able to give the advice that others here can, but I will chime in when I can. As for what is going on with you, I think it is great! You seem to be much more able to handle some of the bumps that go on in your R than when you started posting. I am sooo happy for you! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

As for your sore throat, fluids, fluids, fluids and vitamin C throughout the day. My mom was a nurse and pushing the fluids is the best thing. And I mean you should have a drink in your hands all day. Granted, if you're working or whatever, it should be next to you and drink some as much as possible. Yes, you'll have to hit the ladies room quite a bit more, but a small price for getting better. Can't wait to here how the weekend goes.

Today is a good day and tomorrow will be even better! Never give up.
