Fran,
I'm sure you have already had your surgery...This wish is late never the less very sincere. I hope that your surgery was successful and uneventful and that your recovery is the same. Welcome to the losers side, imagine being a loser is being a winner!!!
Let us know how you are doing when you are up to it...and remember I am here for you if you want to chat.
Love and Hugs,
Fran P. (In Jersey)
