Surgery

  Linda,  Here is an angel to take with you to the hospital.  When do you leave?  Good luck and let us know how things are going for you. You will be a loser in a couple of days---FINALLY!!  Julia

Hi Julia!  Thanks so much.  My sister is coming over at noon tomorrow (Monday) and we will leave for Portland.  We'll settle into the hotel and figure out the best way to get to the hospital.  I have to call tomorrow and get my surgery time (I hope it's early! ).  I've got an email list started so that I can let everyone know that I survived and I'm doing just fine.  Hopefully, I'll be up and doing laps around the nurses station in no time!!  I am so excited.  I know it won't be the easiest thing I've ever done, but I'm so ready. I'll try to post and let you all know I'm okay! Linda

Hi Linda, I'll be thinking of you and sending my best wishes! You will soon be joining us on the losers' bench-woo hoo! Take care and make sure to keep us posted when you can. You're in excellent hands and I know you'll do great. Take care, Lisa

Thanks Lisa!  I am so excited.  I just finished making some jello and will throw a few more things in my bag, then my sister and I are leaving for Portland.  OHSU will call me after 2:00 with my surgery time.  I hope it's EARLY!! Linda

Linda, You'll be on my mind and in my prayers.  Best of luck to you.  You'll do great.  Let us know how you are as soon as you are able to. Donna M.
