Hey, guys!  Is the Scarf still on the move?  Who has it now?  I want to (eventually ;)) add to the list I started awhile back of everyone who has had the Scarf since its beginning with Deb Bifulco...will track that page down and add it here when I have a minute...

Take care, all!

Hi everyone!  Could someone explain the magic scarf? I am having my surgery on February 11 and would love any kind of magic I can get :)

I am new and just had the scarf for my surgery on Oct 26. 
It is a book and scarf that is passed to those having surgery... the book includes photos and stories of the surgery
and recovery.  Every time I wore the scarf, I thought of everyone else who wore it before me and their successes.   
It is such comfort.  Try to get it before your surgery in February.  Good Luck!!!

Hi Kathy,

I have not heard from anyone else so I will send the scarf your way.  I will probably get it out to you the first of next week.  I hope you enjoy having it and I will be praying for you and your doctors on your upcoming surgery!

Hi Glenda, that is so awesome, thanks Glenda!!!!  I know that scarf has lots of Juju and will help me when I have my surgery.  I am looking forward to reading all the entries in the journal.  Do you want me to send you some money for postage?  I would be glad too.  I promise to take really good care of it.

I just wanted to say that the magic scarf was indeed a comforting scarf for me, just knowing that I had it before my surgery and that everyone's well wishes were firmly implanted in that material. It had flown all the way to the USA to little ole New Zealand and put a big smile on my face when I received it in the post!  Unfortunately the journal never got to me - so I will keeps my pics of me and the scarf.

Good luck to all those having surgery this year and may you have a speedy recovery.

Jacqui .....

Maybe you could send your story and pictures to Kathy and she could insert it into the right date.  I did that with several people when I had it because the journal and scarf were separated for a period of time before I received it.

Dave had a neat case made for the two things so it should not get separated again.

Just a thought because we'd really like your story and pictures to be included.
