I am just reading your message on the 21st. so I am thinking that you are in surgery as I write this. God bless. May everything go beautifully. It sounds like you have a great atttitude and so much to look forward to. I will look for your message in a few weeks when you are feeling better. In the meantime, I hope someone is getting your home ready for your recovery. That is a critical time and you should have a nice place to land after your recovery in the hospital. I recommend a nice electric lounge chair for reclining during the day. Some warm blankets and lots of vitamin water and other hydrating drinks.
