Dear Mary, I hope everything goes well. I can feel your excitement all the way down U.S.19 in New Port Richey. I'm praying you get all of your ducks in a row. I hope you can attend your daughters graduation also. I'm sure you have suffered enough, and now it's time to live it up. I also share the same surgeon as you. I hope you keep me posted. I found that in my testings that I have Hepatitis C and never knew it. So I have to delay my surgery until next year, after my therapy for hep-c is done. So I will take all of my energy that I had for my surgery and direct it to you. I will say a prayer for you every day and hope only for the best . It sounds like you deserve it. B.L.T.
