More on Gabby Giffords

After what felt like much debate, Gabby Giffords' doctors have given her formal permission to attend her husband's shuttle launch (the Endeavor) this Friday. It should be interesting to see how the media respond to her physical appearance (because, realistically, we all know that's what they'll mention the most). Because her recovery has been kept rather quiet and visually undocumented, people probably aren't fully prepared to see a Gabby other than the one we saw last, before the shooting occurred.
