Surgeon Testimonial

John George Zografakis
My first impression of Dr. Zografakis was a good one. He was very intelligent , compassionate and understanding.
Right off the back I knew I could open up and speak with him about my questions and concerns.
Dr. Zografakis has a very pleasant attitude and is willing to work with you every step of the way.
His staff are just as nice as he is.
I am truly happy to be a patient of his.
Dr. Z, you are like a angel with wings : )

You go Mrs. Laina Matthews!!!! You are now on the Loosers Side! God bless you, my daugther!!! Update: I've spoken with Laina's mom and sister. Laina is still in recovery, but her surgery went well and she is recovering well, per her family! I will speak with her family again soon, and I'll update on tomorrow! In the meantime, please continue to keep her in your prayers! Love you Laina, Momma Rose

Hello to my OH family and friends
Hello everyone. I do apologize for not posting sooner. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm doing ok. I haven't made up my mind whether the surgery is the right or best thing for me to do as of right now. I do know that the Lord is guiding my path daily, so with that said, I know I'm going in the right direction. I'm in to rush because once I do have the surgery, there is no turning back. So I have to take my time and do what is best for me and me only.
I'm happy that I can email my friends daily and get help and the advice that I need. I truly have a wonderful support system on here and I'm truly grateful for that.
I also wanted to say thank you to Queen Bee who has pushed me to even update my blog. Sometimes I get so distracted with tending to my emails that I don't up date like I should and one day I will get better at it.
Other than that, I have been having so much fun planning for my wedding next year, July18, 2009 to be exact. I have so many ideas that I want to try, but I know I can't do it all. It's just nice to be able to be in control of something so special that is going to take place in my life. We have chosen an elegant black, ivory and silver wedding. Those colors look so pretty together. I'm just too thrilled right now, but I will keep everyone posted on how things are going.
To all of you, have a blessed night and a wonderful Monday.
