It’s odd. I am actually looking forward to this process, everything except the 3 days bed rest/house arrest after the transfer. I think it is the controlled aspect ofit. Everything is monitored and controlled every step of the way. It is very appealing to me.

I have to say that I am starting to get excited!!
