    surgery details in hospital blog

    Dear friends,
    My husband and I are traveling to Phoenix today. We'll spend the night at a hotel across the street from the hospital, then report for duty at 5:30 a.m.!

    St. Joseph's Hospital has a feature called "Care Pages," which is basically a blog. My attentive husband will post frequently for those who are interested.

    Thank you for all your kind and thoughtful support, for sharing your stories. See you on the other side.

    Best,
    Brenda
