    Thinking of you Debbei. How are you feeling? Soon you'll be on the other side of all this and telling us all about it.

    All the best for a rapid and smooth recovery. I'll be looking out for your recovery stories!

        Yep he knows; he will call Ginger or Pam, whoever he can get ahold of first. I told him don't wait too long

          I hate all these time zone differences! Today's the 15th here, so you must be up soon (tomorrow??), I guess.

          Anyhow, GOODLUCK (not that I think you'll need it ), will be thinking much of you over the next few days & watching closely for news.

          Take care.

                  Hi Debbe,

                  Good Luck but I know you won't need it. Will be praying for you and the DR's. Everything will be great and you won't believe how well you did and how fast things go! Can't wait to hear from you after your surgery.

                    I've probably slept all that I can. We have to be there in 2 hours, and the hospital is across the street. I've logged in so that my husband can post an update later if he wants to.

                    Thanks for all of the nice notes. Right this minute I'm calm, my husband says so. My husband is cracking me up. I can't wait for the happy juice. I've never taken a valium or anything like that in my life, but I probably could have used one last night.

                    Talk to you guys soon,

                      Dear Debbe's hubby-- Please know that we care very much for her and I'm praying for a very successful surgery and relatively quick recovery. I know it must be really hard for you and your family as well, so you all are a part of those prayers also.

                      Thanks for posting when you are able. Give Debbe a gentle hug or hand squeeze from me when she's awake again and tell her I''m sending love over the miles. I know she'll do real well. Susie
