Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 , You bet I'm sending luck and even more your way!!! I thought about you so much this weekend and I was praying that you weren't getting too nervous. How funny is this, I got burnt this weekend too from the sun! Ha ha! My face is slightly less red now but right underneath my arms because I fell asleep with my arms up, still really hurts. Silly me! Despite my mediterranean heritage I guess I inherited some of that Irish complexion from my dad. So I'll be the lobster holding your hand in the OR. We'll be two lobsters!! Do you know yet whether you'll be splinted or not after the surgery? I hope NOT! I'll let you know how the desplinting goes but more importantly, you let me know how the surgery goes!!! I'm so proud of you. You've been able to comfort all of us while agonizing over the wait for your surgery and you've been amazing! Truly the best surgery buddy one could hope for. I'll be waiting for you on the other side ready to commiserate and at hand to drive that bulldozer when ever you may need me to.
