I feel awesome! I still check in to see how everyone is doing but with the kids home from school they are keeping me busy busy. Life is good...eating steak, salad and occasionally I have trouble with a few things but I don't let it get me down. I am not using adhesive on top since my last reline and that is amazing.

Well I hit the one week mark. I am feeling good today. My morning/nightime routine of cleaning, scrubbing, rinsing ect is become more natural.
