Re: Fox News Uma Pemera(whatever) July 4th on GP surgery?

[Guest guest]

Well, Ray.. 24 hours (or less) for both of us! I am just as much of a

mess as you are! I have to be at the airport at 4am, and I still need

to pack!!! I am glad it will give me something to do to get my mind

off the nervousness.. I did not see the show, but that's ok. I just

want to thank everyone for all the support and good advice! I'll be on

later, but after that, not until the 20th or so, unless there's

internet access somewhere there. I have wireless, so that would be

nice to find somewhere.. Well, say some prayers, think good thoughts,

and we'll be on the losing side soon!! Don't forget to take your

measurements before surgery!!

Big hugs to all!!

I saw that special. I was so happy for that young girl. I can only

imagine the stigma of being " fat " as a child. I was lucky and never

weighed over 100 lbs in high school, but being fat as an adult has

sucked. Good luck with your surgery. I have 14 days left until mine.

For that to make any sense he'd also have to forbid you from working and

going to the grocery store.

You are much more likely to die driving to the hospital.

Know what I mean?

AH! Thanks, didn't even think about measurements. Thank God for

sweats. lol Anyway, you take care and I hope you have a nice trip

also. I'll see you on the other side of the O.R. so to speak. Tell

him not to worry about it. This is for ALL of you right?
