They are going to keep me in the hospital overnight. Please keep the doctors, nurses, and everyone in your thoughts and prayers for a smooth surgery. And please pray that I go through the surgery and recovery smoothly and safely! Thanks I don't pray Becky, but I'll be thinking of you today. My brother had that surgery done many years ago and he's never regretted it. I expect you'll end up feeling that way about your surgery. I've a severely deviated septum on the right side of my face, but I've always been too chicken to go and get it fixed :-) I'm glad for you that you're much braver than me. <grin> -- Lyndi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, wont get that surgery until I'm finished with all my other needed surgeries. New York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Becky - I hope by the time you read this you are back home and feeling fine. I hope you had an easy surgery and will have a quick recovery. Let us know how you're doing as soon as you feel up to being online again - we'll be thinking about you! Cheryl in AZ Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
