This is how my head feels


But not how it really looks.
Dara's Doc's came by this morning to look in on her,  her bandages are off and her face looks great, nothing like this picture.  She is feeling better and she is off her IV and eating real food. 
We expect to go home sometime Saturday.  Johnny and Michelle F. went home today at 12:30pm.
Carole W.  leaves today.  Dara is doing terrific and we are gonna try and go for a walk around her unit in the next hour or so.
I have taken a picture of her with no bandage (beautiful) and a pic of her incision (yikes).  I will post those later.  Johnny and Michelle F were there when the bandages came off.  Johnny told Dara that the top of here ear was missing but her hair would probably cover it.  She did not fall for that, but I did see her reach up and touch her ear a second later to double check that her ear was still there.  Michelle F did not even blink when Dara's bandage came off, way to go Michelle.
There have been some questions about if we will be keeping Willie.  I can't speak for Dara but I did not like Willie when he was in Dara's head and I just don't want him around the house.  Who knows what he will try and do next, that no good Willie has got to go.
 Sometimes it is better to collect stories and friends and leave the souvenirs behind.

OK - Your face is totally contorted! This is not you - I am so glad you are feeling better! Art - get done with Chinese food and fix the picture! Only the love from your sister....michelle

The last I talked to you - you are feeling ok - sitting in a chair and eating. I am so glad you are going home tomorrow. I love you dearly!! m

How 'bout selling Willie on Ebay or Craig's List? (chuckle, chuckle - just kidding). We knew you could do it! Hang tough and we look forward to havin' you back in the neighborhood.

Dara- we had the All League Awards Dinner tonight at the club. We missed you. You and Stephanie have awards from the Monday night league. I'll bring it by to you once you are home.
You are missed and have a great group of people rooting for you!

Darling Dara.
I can honestly say that I hope to never hear"Willy's" name again....
although, a motion picture or book deal could sound tempting. Otherwise, "w" is cast out of your dear life forever!
