  • Going in for hysterectomy tomorrow...

    I'll be gone for a few days and will be praying for you all. Those of you going into surgery, keep up your faith because even though it is a rough road, it is so worth it. I'll try to let you all know how THIS aspect of our female lives turns out after I get back. Everything is coming out, tied down and otherwise! So, see all of you, my dear friends, when I get home from the hospital.

            Lisa,

            I know you are already in the hospital, so you won't see this in the near future. But you will be in my thoughts and prayers as well.

            You're a strong woman, and you will get through this next obstacle, I hope it's a speedy recovery!!!

            Take care,
            Shari

                      Lisa, I've had you in my thoughts and prayers. I think that this will be a piece of cake after the most major surgery you went through. Although I am not minimizing this surgery. All surgeries are major. You will pull through just fine.
