Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Hi Pam,
It's so nice to hear from you! Not a day has went by that I haven't thought about you? That was a very wise choice going to rehab. Believe me...when I got home all I thought about is how I wished I was back in the hospital because I just needed too much help with everything. You will recover much quicker there since you will get more rest, meals brought to you--& good pain management. 
That kind of surgery takes alot out of you. So let them wait on you--bring you your food and just think about nothing but resting.  I'm so glad this part is all behind you. Thanks so much for checking in with us. Rest up and let them take good care of you...if they don't I'm going to come down there. lol
Chelee
