So, it's October 24. How did it go, Misty? Even though I underwent CK, I was very set on surgery for quite a while. It would have been Translab, so I'm sort of going through this with you vicariously. I'm sure everything went well and I'm sending you prayers.

Misty .....

For whatever reason, I totally missed this thread.  I sincerely hope all went well with your surgery last week.

Just wanted to mention that Dr. Fukushima did my surgery at Duke-Raleigh Hospital so I know you were in the best of hands, both physician-wise and hospital-wise.  I pray your outcome was a good as mine.

Let us know how you are doing.
