Hi Everyone! Even though I'm logged in as Kathleen, I'm actually her 14 year old daughter Jennifer. Well, as the boards say, my mom's surgery was today, and to quote doctor Patterson, she "passed with flying colors", and did "perfectly". We were so releived to hear this news!!! She was actually quite alert when we finally saw her after a 2 hour period in the recovery room. She wishes everyone who had surgery today well, and I Congratulate you all, on starting the new beginning to the rest of your lives, you are all such brave people to do what my mom did today takes true courage, and I also thank you all for providing support, and the information about this surgery. Thank you all, Jennifer
