Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Tess, I know that you must be getting a little nervous now that the date is approaching. I am hoping that you will get through the surgery with no complications. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. I'm hoping it will " cure " your diabetes, too. Wouldn't that be a wonderful bonus? Hopefully you won't have a flare while you're waiting for the big day.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Tess Even though we can't be with you in person, you know we are with you in spirit every step of the way. I know you are a bit stressed right now, but think how much better you will be feeling by summer. This is a big step, but will be worth it in the end. I agree, you will be going through a lot of " life changes " , but you know you have a great support group here and it sounds like you have great support groups in your area. Be assured that you and your family are always in my thoughts. Big hugs, but gently of course in Ct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
