It's a Date

Ah-hmm...(clearing voice)...ah, Welcome to the Marchers, Connie. But even more importantly, it is my duty as The Queen of The Niners to welcome you to "The Niners". WELCOME TO THE NINERS!! WELCOME TO THE NINERS!! With no effort on your part, you have entered that group of pre-ops known as THE NINERS. We're all having our surgeries on the 9th, 19th or 29th. Nine has now become your "lucky number" (if'n you believe in dat stuff...). Nine is a wonderful number. There are those of us who go before us who are not Niners, and we love them no less. We ADORE our "Canaries", who are those with dates of March 1st. They will go before us and make sure it's safe for us to proceed. To our Canaries, and most of all, to the Chief Canary in Charge, Joy-ful Cook , we owe a debt of gratitude. I see that my wonderful Angel, Kathy Cade, has also welcomed you to the Niners. Her REAL Birthday is March 9th...she's got the edge on all of us WLS Niners!! Anyway...hang with us all! We're all gonna go March-ing through this with each other!! Kimmer Queen of the Niners, Instigator to all Marchers, High Priestess of Giggles Zero-minus-21 and counting!

Kimmer, Thanks so much for the warm welcome. It's nice to have a group of people going through this at the same time. I'm off for my pre-op class. Busy, busy day. Can't wait to get this over with. Connie - Marchioness of March Madness
