Thanks, Linda and everyone. Your prayers will be very much appreciated.
Im a bit nervous about it, but then, who isnt when it comes to surgery?
As far as friends go, I feel very blessed to have made new friends since
moving here to Peterborough five years ago about now. The two people who
will help Frankie and me get through the first few days after the operation
are people I met through the Peterborough New Horizons Band. I have three
sisters currently living in Ottawa, which is about 4 hours drive northeast
of here, but theyre 76, 79, and 92 years old respectively, and travelling
here isnt nearly as easy now as it once would have been. Even the youngest
of those three is ten years older than I am. So yes, Im very blessed to
have friends here. Ill no doubt be in touch with everyone before the
surgery, and I cant imagine why I wont be able to drop the odd note fairly
soon afterwords. Devon.

Devon, I'll be praying for you. Doesn't sound like lots of fun, but glad
you'll have the help you need to get through it.

Hi, everyone. Just thought I�d let you know that I�ll be going to have
my gallbladder out a week from this coming Monday. I�ve never had
abdominal surgery, but aside from the pain caused by the air that they pump
in, I understand that this won�t be too painful. If all goes well, they
will only have to make four small incisions. I have a friend who will stay
with me that first night, and then I understand that a nurse will be
checking in with me once a day. Frankie would be more than happy to keep an
eye on my incisions, but the best he could do for me would be to lick them,
and I�m not sure that that would be a good idea, especially if his tongue
just came from, lol. Devon.
