I hope to see our friend Denise on Sunday or Monday, depending on how she is feeling.  I plan on talking to her before that and will post updates. 

I am getting anxious too because I am so darn excited for her!!

Hey Denise--Good luck tomorrow!  I'm sure we have all washed the stink out of our pirate socks, so we can wear them for you now. Will have them on all day in spite of the heat and will be sending huggles, good thoughts, and prayers your way. Please keep us updated on your progress.  I'm sure I speak for all of us Wenches and Swashbucklers when I say that we love you!

Hi All:

Our friend Denise is in surgery right now!!

I talked to her last night -  she was in very good spirits and so anxious for it to be done.

She printed out this thread for her boyfriend to read and his response was:  "WOW.  What nice, caring, thoughtful friends you have on this board."  That is an understatement.

Her boyfriend or sister will call me this afternoon so I will post when I have heard she is in her room.

More later and thank you all,  Kathy

Hi to all -

I just talked to Denise's sister (Denise is at home and sleeping).......she is pooped out but feeling good.  I asked about her pain and Debbie said Denise rated it at a 3.  How wonderful is that!!

I will post after I see her Sunday or Monday. 

Have a good weekend everyone and thanks for the posts.  I will print and take them to her.  She will be back online herself when she gets to work on 8/13.

Denise,

We're looking for a good report from Kathy.  So glad for the "3" report.  Best wishes for a very speedy recovery.

Hi -

I just talked to Denise's boyfriend and she is sleeping (I can't seem to call when she is awake).  He said she is doing great and in good spirits.  Her pain was worse yesterday but better today.  She has alot of swelling too which is to be expected.  Thats all I know for now.  I will go see her next weekend if she does not feel up to a visitor tomorrow.

More later, Kathy
