Re: Hi Guys, and many thanks for all

[Guest guest]

Oh Cammie, I was thrilled to read your post. Welcome, welcome to the other

side.

Rest well, dear lady, you have earned it. I hope all continues smoothly. So

glad your surgeon is happy.

I love the part about no bands because you'll strain to talk against

them...what? Our Cammie...a talkative one?

You are already on the healing path,

Congrats Cammie!!

Sounds like everything went as planned. It's great that you have no

numbness!!

Let the recovery begin!!

Thank goodness you're ok, Cammie, well better than just ok!

I'm especially glad for the no pain no numbness part! Hallelujah!

We've been worried sick about you. Rest well and I'll ask the

surgery fairy to provide sweet dreams and no bands.

Wow Cammie! That's brilliant!

I'm amazed you can even be bothered to use your computer at the

moment never mind speak so positively! You're an inspiration!

Sounds like they did a good job, here's to a smoothe recovery. I'm

completely amazed that you're the same Cammie as ever, not feeling

sorry for yourself one little bit. Hope I can be like you when my

time comes! Doubt it though!

So happy for you,

Congrats on what sounds like a totally successful procedure, Cammie.

I actually just checked back in today after my very first post on

Friday and I was thilled to read your response. I've spent the last

couple of hours checking out all the posts since then (this is a very

chatty..er...prolific group - perfect for me). It's easy to see that

you provide everyone here with immense support and caring, and that

everyone returns the feeling.

I'd just like to add my best wishes for a speedy, comfortable

recovery. I'm going to model my experience after yours, 'cause it

seems to be going so well.

Get well soon. I'll be thinking of you.

Welcome back Cammie!

Glad to hear everything went just perfect.

You've already passed the top of the mountain, the most tedious

part, now the rest is downhill ;-)

Happy healing!

Hi Cammie!

Not sure when you'll log in next, but I have to tell you I was so

glad to see your " ceast " name pop up tonight! I'm so very proud of

you, Cammie! I really missed you. You realize when one of us is

gone for more than a day or so. You sound great and it looks like

you are indeed having the easiest recovery ever (as you predicted).

I can't wait to hear all the details, but I want you to rest

comfortably and we can wait. I am glad that you are home where you

can be comfortable.

Enjoy the Other Side, Cammie. Not all days will be easy I suppose,

but you're there, honey! Wait for me ....

Irish!

Cammie, you have noooo idea how happy I am to read your words.

Welcome to the other side! I feel like a family member has finally

come home; after more than a year of waiting. I am thrilled for you,

and I send tears of joy. The miracle of healing has just begun.

Take care, Kris

Hey Cammie:

Welcome to the other side. The grass may not always be so green but

it beats looking at it from a distance. It feels good to get that

first " other side post " in, doesn't it?

Rest & take it easy. Keep your strength up.

Cammie, soooo happy to hear from you. I knew you could do it. It is

great that you have made it to The Other Side. You take care of

yourself.

I can't believe you have no numbness. Sounds like your surgeon did a

good job, and it's always nice to hear from them that they are pleased

with the results.

Keep on healing. Donna
