Georgia! Re: on the other side again

Georgia!

Well, how the heck are ya????!?!??!? This is SO going to be like

old times! Hehehe. I hardly ever get over here anymore but I had a

bit of insomnia tonight and thought I'd lurk and there I see ga_1962

and I had to blink a few times as I remembered your user name.

Couldn't believe you were here! This is a bit eery because this is

the first time I've logged in in quite some time and it was just

after you posted. Something brought me here ... maybe it was that

guardian angel you sent to the hospital during my second surgery ....

I am sorry you are currently in the throes of healing once again but

am very hopeful you will love your results soon enough. And REALLY

sorry you had to " ralph " after surgery. You do remember that was my

greatest fear (next to those nasty impressions). You know I know

what it's like to ping pong between " Sides " and to make it to the

Other Side for a second time. My surgeries were only 6 months apart

but I gather that no matter much time in between, you never quite

forget how challenging it all was. I remember after Surgery 2

thinking, " Boy I forgot about how hard some of this is " but again,

this stage will become a distant memory for you in due time.

I wish you very quick healing and a perfect result. Hang in there,

you can do it, girl!

I think you may already know this, but Donna (dolfan) is moving from

California to Florida. If all goes as planned, she'll be there by

the end of September. I know you are still in Georgia (I think) but

you will be so much closer now. You have GOT to hook up. You'll

love her, she's awesome.

Continued good healing, my old friend.
