Bev....Thank you for your words of encouragement and for sharing the information about CPAP with me. I am confident that this is just a minor set back, that my Surgeon will proceed as planned once I am on a breathing machine or my blood oxygen levels are normal...whichever comes first. I wish you Godspeed on your journey...may it be a safe road, uncompromised by hurdles and roadblocks. I'll meet you...on the "losing side."
