Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Peta, I am so very sorry that Amy is having such a hard time. And so much new growth. At least keeping her real morphined up, she will not remember much of her recovery. I did not remember much either from my lung surgery since they really kept me dopey. They said I talked and stuff, but do not remember anything. So, hopefully she will not remember the pain. I am Praying for her. Maybe chemo can take care of this cancer. Just remember that miricles do happen. It is in God's hands. Ingrid > Hi guys > > I am so dazed right now that I am not sure if I wrote to you since > Amy's surgery. If I did, please forgive me.
