Greetings, Kimanne,
Just posting to let you know the you will be especially in my prayers this week! I know Dr. Thirlby will be on top of everything for you, and you'll be emerging to join the grateful, blessed and joyful losers!
May the time between now and your surgery fill you with peace and calm -- pack away the anxiety and stress, but not in your hospital pack!
Peace to you,
Susan
