    Hooray!

    Yes, thanks, Joe! Good job, Pam! You're the first one on the calendar. I visited it and saw your date, and it lets us request a reminder, which is a neat advantage. Hope everyone gets busy and posts their dates. I'm wondering if anyone can go in and put Hazel's 2nd surgery date, since she won't be able to do it... or if you have to be the right person.

            Calendar

            Got it figured out and posted Sam's surgery on the calendar. Had to move you over Pam! By the way, I have been meaning to ask you since you have thought of everything.... I have seen your "to do" list, but not a "to pack" list for the hospital. What am I forgetting? I got the suitcase out and started to pack a few things for her, but I am sure there are things I am forgetting. BTW, she is scheduled for 7:30 as well, so it is neck and neck. But Wait! I just realized, we live in EST. and you don't. She just might beat you on that technicality and be discharged first!

            Best,

              Ah, Michele ... how funny same day, same time! Tell Sam I'll race her on the discharge ;-).

              (it would be horrible to be bested by an "old lady" - LOL!)

              I am already determined to fall asleep wishing the best for all who are scheduled around my date. Sam will obviously be at the front of that list because of timing.

              Give her a big hug for me.

              Pam
