Hi- they switched my surgery to Wednesday. How nice you are asking. I have been getting all the last minute stuff ready and will leave tomorrow for KC. I have been in touch with Susie*Bee by email. If someone would send me a phone number, I will have a family member call. My hubby not into computers and we don't have a laptop. Thanks!Nancy Joy

I lit a candle for you this morning, Nancy Joy! I'd light one on Wednesday, but I'm going to be hitting the road and taking a five-hour drive to see a new grandbaby. None-the-less, my thoughts will be with you as I travel!
It's a little tough to get a date change! Hang in there just a little longer . . .
Best Wishes!

Nancy Joy ... Wednesday it is. I'll be thinking of you.
Don't be scared (easier said than done, i know). It's going to be SO much better in time ;-).
Hang tight. I know the delay must have thrown you off ... it would have me!
Hugs,

Good mantra to have ... you may wake up thinking "What the he ...?!", but it will come back to you soon where you are, and that you are past an important stage!

Hi NancyJoy,
Sorry to hear about the change in surgery date. Mine was changed twice but sooner than later which is a whole lot easier to take. You will just get a double up on the prayers which certainly can't hurt. Take good care, SallyDiagnosed with severe lumbar scoliosis at age 65.

Nancy sent me an email this morning just before she left to head out... they were driving to the destination today, she needs to check in at 5:45 a.m.(central time) tomorrow morning and her surgery is scheduled for 8:00. Her surgeon said it may last up to about 12 hours. She has a couple of our phone numbers, so she will have her husband get the word to one of us.
Also, her surgery had been switched a couple of weeks ago, so it wasn't totally at the last minute that it was changed. She had posted the change in the thread she started back when it was actually Oct. 6th.
I know she really appreciates everyone's care and concern.71 and plugging along... but having some problems

I'm posting this after 11:00 p.m on the 7th, so not sure if you'll get this before your surgery. But, hope all goes well, with surgery and recovery. Let us know what's happening with you...........Stephanie ( sunnyday)
