Thinking of you in Vancouver, WA and very happy that "things" seem to be going smoothly.  Major surgery isn't much fun, no matter how spectacularly successful it is, and my heart and prayers are with you, Debbi, and your family as you begin the healing process.

Hi Hope

Haven't seen you on the forum lately.  How are you?  I'm very sure you and Debbi will have quite a few noted to compare.  You started the month and she finished it.

AMEN to that Amen also!  Great news about Debbi!  I told you we Jersey girls are tough cookies!!

Willie, thanks for keeping us posted!  Deb has become part of our "family" and it's nice to be kept in the loop!  Especially when it's good news!

Let's keep this good luck going with great results for everyone on their upcoming treatments.

DOWN WITH AN'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS - if Deb's recovery would be helped along by a trip to Seaside this July - that's where I'll be!  It's good therapy to walk through the sand!!  We can compare scars.   8)

Willie,

Thank you!  Sending wellness wishes to Debbi and congrats on her being a "postie" (post-treatment).  Please give her healing huggles from me and onward and upward to wellness.

Great job, Debbi! We knew you'd do great!!! :-*
