Hi Cathy...Thank you for sending me such a nice warm good luck...I am very nervous and scared but everytime I get a nice letter from someone that has been there...It makes me feel like I can do this and I will be ok...Good luck and hopefully you will be feeling no pain the next few days...Think about the new clothes you will be able to get into within the next few months...I hope I can have a good positive feeling after my surgery..I will take all of the wonderful letters with me tomorrow and I know with all these prayers going with me I will be just fine...Thank you again and God Bless

Cathy has now joined us on the other side!!!! This is a very exciting time for her. She came through her surgery just great, and her first word to her husband was, "Hurt!" As you have all read, this is Cathy's first surgery ever. Last night she got up and walked the halls, just like a good girl. I'm so very proud of her!! I'm the lucky one, too, because I get to go take care of her this coming weekend.

Cathy~~Here's to a quick happy recovery. Remember to walk, walk, walk, drink, drink, drink and cough, cough, cough. Use the incentive spirometer not matter how much you hate it. Many prayers sent your way. You can do it! God Bless us each and everyone. Visit my profile...i have lots of great websites you can check out that may be of interest.

Hi Cathy, Congratulations on your new birth date! It's exciting and scary, I know! Just stay relaxed and before you know it you'll be waking up to your new aching tummy. Remember to take all the pain meds they give you and walk as soon as you can! I'm very excited for you as I'm only 1 mo. post op and remember my new birth fondly. Best wishes and I'll pray for your quick recovery. God Bless!!! Hugs
