Please send positive thoughts today
Friends,
At 3:30 pm, MT, today (Wed.) I will be have exploratory surgery on the bile duct that runs between the liver and gall bladder. The Gastro doc, whom I have only met once, seems to believe this test should be done soon. The pain I've had for months indicates a blockage.
Any my Dad, who passed over October 8, keeps sending messages to my wonderful quasi-psychic friend. Which makes me a litte nervous. Hope he's just saying "Hi", not "come on over." My mother, 85, is doing good, but she's lonely. I can't leave her now.
Prayers and thoughts are welcome. Thank you.
Love and light,
Lisa

Lisa,
I'm sure that the messages that your quasi friend is receiving from you dad are good thoughts. Your father wants you to be a survivor and I'm sure that he is looking over you with lots of love and positive energy. I'll say an extra prayer for you today.
