Best of luck Ray. I've heard of your struggles through posts from Shari. You've worked so hard and I'm happy you are getting the surgery you've worked so hard for.
You are going to do great Ray! And you have such a great partner to do this with - I am so excited for the pair of you! Congrats and here's to a very swift and easy recovery!
Ray, your surgery is going to change your life for the better. My thoughts will be with you and Shari as you embark on this new chapter in the journey of your life. The first few months are the toughest, but you'll make it through!
