Hey Laurie..
This is Cia, from the main DS list.. I wanted to say HI!... and to let you know that you will be in my thoughts on Friday.. It is also my nephew's first birthday, so there are sure to be some angels hovering over you this day.. :))
Just remember that God's hands are with your surgeons.. and you will be just fine.. I wish you all the best, and hope that you recover w/out incident..
Peace and light to you..
Cia
