Hello Dawn in IL

God Bless you dear sister and don't let one negative thought fill your head

you are wonderfully and fearfully made and you will come through surgery

tomorrow with flying colors and start your new journey to a healthier and more

fulfilling life. My prayers and best wishes are with you and your family. Get

your rest and congratulations by tomorrow you will be a post-op and well on your

way.

Be good to yourself
