Honey, I'm home!!!

Yes, indeed, thank God I am back home (Sutton home for now). The docs released me last night after they'd checked on me and saw that I had made a lot of progress and that there was no need for me to remain at hospital since I wasn't 'attached' to anything anymore. Hamdilla alf marra. However, it doesn't mean that I am free to wander the streets yet. I need to be extra careful and relax at home and keep warm and away from any virus or whatever might jeopardize my still-low immunity. I am pretty ok with that, since I spent the last 24 hours dozing on and off on 'my sofa' and extra warm bed! I need to go see the docs on monday for a check-up and counts of bloods. Till then, I look forward to reading from you and checking out what you've done with the new vote (Rima's added some new pix and I've postponed the deadline; it's just too much fun to end so abruptly!). So, yalla, vote some more and write to me and wish me a smooth and warm recovery at home, and soon in Beirut, inshallah.

Thank you ALL for every little prayer,
I am forever grateful,

love,
Hala

Fantabulous! Yes, please keep warm and cozy and sleep as much as you can. I've been smiling ever since I heard these good news.

I see that now that you're home, you've been busy fiddling with your blog! Can you make the font a little darker or the background a little lighter - it's hard for these ancient eyes to read!

Hugs and kisses
