Red T: You remain in my thoughts and prayers as you undergo yet another surgery. I had emergency surgery for a strangulated hernia last November, so I can really empathize with the pain and the prospect of having a surgery for this kind of problem. Please keep us updated. I hope you feel the warm vibes coming from all of this and that these good thoughts counteract your mother's cruel words. Perhaps she's so scared about it all.. but no excuse to say such cutting, negative things. You don't need ANY negativity now! Just all the positive thoughts to get you through this! All the best,
