Pam,

Thanks for keeping us posted. I am getting a chuckle out of the surgeon stories. I just visited a friend today. It has been 5 days since her "simple day surgery" which the doctor said would be a piece of cake. Well, 5 days latter she is feeling like someone forgot to stir the cake mix. Keep up the good work of getting through all of these challenges. I hope you can go out for coffee with a friend even if you have to drink water. Buy some new hand lotion or a new bathrobe. Treat yourself well, you deserve it. We all need our doctors, but I guess we get day-to-day truth here with our friends. Thinking of you.
