I meant to promote this more today, but got sidetracked by the dental torture...I am not good when it comes to teeth. In any event, Gloria and I share a propensity towards plaque and heart disease (but, hey, no cavities!).
Gloria is a real fighter and this event at Metrohealth is a tribute to her spirit. I hope that she reports on the event here and if other folks can attend, please report here. Metrohealth staff sometimes get a bad rap, but Gloria knows, and I know, that they DO work miracles.
