Hey Val, thanks for such a great post, you were such an inspiration to me both pre op and post op. I use your recipes all the time and I always think of you when I see halloween socks as I clearly remember you telling me that you wore them on surgery day!!

Lots of hugs for more successful post op years!!

Val,

Thank you for all the help and smart advice given over the years, I for one have greatly benefited from it. You are one of the first few people who I counted on when I was a newbie and nothing you said failed me, so thank you. Yes, life way too short so live it, thank you. Congrats!!
