I'll have Cindy write to the list. Thanks All. I seem to be coming down with a bit of a cold. Not severe, just the beginning. But they will not do the operation if I have a cold. So I'll have to see how I feel tomorrow. I have to get blood type done for the surgery Saturday, and get the wrist band. The Surgery is Monday morning. Pray for good health. I want to get this over with (so I can sleep again). Just no comfortable position now. JC On Fri, Nov 23, 2012 at 6:45 PM, Mary McCarthy <printces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > yeah. worry worry.
