update on Abby
I posted this at the bottom of the Abby's on the bench thread, but wanted to be sure it got to the top:

Hello all.. I just came from visiting Abby in the hospital. She is sore, scared, nervous, gassy, tired, excited, etc etc etc.
I assured her that everything she is feeling is normal and it will only get better from here on out. Her daughter is going to pick her up around 4, I believe, so she will be home tonight!! She was definitely ready to go home where it is comfortable! She is getting some support from home, but will definitely need us --- so gather the troops and bring on the love!!! We will be her backbone!!!

Thanks for the update. I remember the myriad of emotions that went with the early period of recuperation.
I will keep her in my prayers. I appreciate your update. Keep us posted.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Awwww Liz, thanks. 
I thought about mentioning the class to her, but thought better of it considering she was only having water at the time. I did make sure she knew that I was there just a few days post op and even though I was on liquids at the time, the food smells didn't bother me a bit and it was just great being there with all of you. I will probably offer to meet her somewhere so we can go together if she is not comfortable coming by herself.
