Hey Vivian,

Congratulations on your upcoming date :0)

You will be in great hands with Dr Aceves and his whole staff.

I took my husband with me when I had surgery. When it was all over we realized it would have been so easy for me to have gone alone. I was taken care of every minute I was in Mexicali. From the minute I walked off the plane to the moment I was taken back to the airport I was cared for every step of the way. I think I was more worried about my husbands comfort and well being than my own.

Go and relax. There are always good movies on the TV, you can read a book, or get to know the others that will be banded that same day. I know there are several :0)

I wish you the best and look forward to hearing about your experience.

God Bless,

Vivian, Don't worry about going alone. Myself and a friend are coming on Friday the 14th and we can all be banding buddies. We are having our surgery on Saturday. See you then and no worries, we will pray for you!

Hi ,

Yep, only 5 days till surgery!

I'm in Georgia though. Don't know why I thought you were in

Florida(?) Sorry, tend to be brain-dead at the end of the day.

Glad to hear you got past the temporary plateau. You're losing again,

Great!

Am planning a cross country trip with the kids in the summer, maybe we

can meet up then.

Thanks for your kind words.

HI , I have been trying to talk my husband out of coming with me!! I think I would be better off being by myself so I didnt have to worry about him. He has a severe disc problem in his back so I am gonna worry about him not being comfy on the couch in my room. He doesnt think that I am a big enough girl either to go alone. The only thing for me is driving home. I am not sure if I would be able to drive the car home so I guess I do need to bring him along! Tammy I.

I'm from Louisiana and we just suffered two tremendous hurricanes....It

will be YEARS before we are anywhere near repaired and we will never be

the SAME.

It is so sickening to see trees that are hundreds of years old with

their bottoms(roots) shwing and the whole tree laying on the ground

dead. All you see are BLUE ROOFS. I will say it will be nice to go

somewhere where I wont see one even if I wont be able to enjoy it to the

limit completely.

OMG !! Were you in the heart of the tornado?? I hope your all okay Tammy I.

[Guest guest]

YES I WAS….We got some damage but

not near as much as some others. The difference in a tornado and

hurricane is water is with the hurricane and it can go on for hours…..Rita

lasted approx 6-8 hours of HEAVY winds. About 4 hours before the wind AND

rain got here we experienced heavy rain. Another difference is I don’t know

how much advance notice you get on a Tornado but we had 2/3 days notice to

Mandatory evacuate 3/4 days to Voluntarily evacuate. But its

hard standing in your

House wondering WHAT to take with you.

They tell you to take your important documents/birth certificate/health

ins/life ins (things like that) but its so hard not to take pics and senimental

things. I was so thankful none of that was destroyed or got wet. We snuck

back into the parish even though we would have been given a ticket and escorted

back out and went to our house. We live on the river so we were able to take a

bath in there for about 2 days. The heat was unbearable. It was horrible to

throw away hundreds of dollars of frozen goods. We were without power for

9 weeks……….hope to never have to go thru that again but I did

learn a lot thru that time. Now people are having problems with MOLD

growing in their homes. So far mine is ok but when we got back I took purex and

poured in every wall/wall board I could get to so I really think that helped.

Anyways enough rambiling………good to hear from you.

Wow, , I cant imagine what you and all the others went through. I no that Us seeing it on T.V. doesnt even Justify the tragedy that went on there. And the tragedy that is still going on over there. You know I dont know whats worse....Knowing its coming or not knowing its coming. We have the Earthquakes and you never know when one is going to strike. So you cant really mentally prepare for it or maybe its difficult in any situation to mentally prepare for it. Its really amazing how much damage mother nature can accomplish. Well I am glad thjat you and your family are all okay . Tammy I.

Thanks so much for the encouragement Ginger.........will write more

later......
