How frustrating! I hope they can get it taken care of very soon. Hope your

stress level mellows out some now. Take care.

Too bad your dh's surgery won't happen tomorrow. Does sound like poor

communication going on. Hope his surgery gets rescheduled soon.

Didn't know your dh was a military vet. I am, also.

Brain fog is messing with my spelling.

Thanks. Yeah, he was in the marines. He was in for about 5 years. I met him

less than a year after he got out.

What branch were you in Debbie?

As for the surgery, well sometimes things happen for a reason. It will work

out eventually I am sure.

love,

Debra V.

Thanks. Yes it is ok. It will work out somehow. Maybe it was not meant to be

right now for some reason. I would much rather that they are very well prepared

before they do another surgery anyway. It is alot better than them going into

something and not doing it right.

love and hugs,
