Re: Surgery on Thursday

[Guest guest]

Stacey,

I wish I could come down to Mannheim to help you. Life is crazy here but

I will call you after I get home from work tonight.

I was scared stiff as I did my pre-op. I ran into a soldier of my

husbands wife when I was doing pre-op and she asked me if I was excited. I

burst out in tears. Now I'm 70 pounds down I am excited with life again. I

used to stay to myself before surgery.

If your husband needs the low down on his role in the surgery he is more

then welcome to call my husband. You have my phone number or I can email

you his DSN.

will be fine. My kids visited me and I talked to my six yr old on

the phone everyday.

The hospital stay will go by quickly and you will be up on your feet soon

enough
