Hey Lisa!

I noticed in the protocol the option of doing the second week as an outpatient, but no one has mentioned that to me as a possibility, so far. I wouldn't mind, except that the local hotels are pretty expensive compared to free room and board at the Clinical Center. (The Marriott nearby even wants you to pay extra for wireless internet!)

Thanks for the note about your late departure. I'm concerned about that, since I"ll be getting out on "Black Friday." I'm hoping that means everyone will already be in the malls, as opposed to driving the highways, but I'm concerned we may wind up in a hotel Friday night instead of getting home to NC.

Take Care!
