I'm thinking about you and know that you will do well.  It's a blessing to have Doug as you will be so much more in tune with the after-surgery process.  And almost exactly four months apart - lol.

Wishing you the very best.  Let us know when you're home.  Thank you for all of your help, advice and guidance.  I'll be five weeks behind.

Hi Linda,

Yea I feel very in tune with the after surgery process for sure... I even know what purees well and how to make it taste good.  Doug and I will be 4 months apart as he had surgery on October 14th.

I will be hoping to update from hospital... I believe I will be feeling up to it at some point either tomorrow evening or Wednesday.  My surgery got moved up to 11:30am.  

I am always here to help... and thanks for the kind words and support along the way.

I will keep your spot on the bench nice and warm!!

Chat soon,

Laura

Thanks Kathy,

I feel very lucky that he has gone 4 months sooner.  It helps knowing what to expect and how I will feel tomorrow.  Maybe that is why I am not scared or nervous.  I am instead excited and ready to get this party started!

Thanks for your kind wishes,

Laura

Good luck with surgery tomorrow! Having a supportive husband makes all the difference, and having gone through this four month's earlier will really be helpful for you.
