Dale,

My cajun buddy!! Hi, glad to hear all is well for you down in cajun

country. I miss down south so much. I hope you are still eating

those shrimp poboys for me and crawfish!! I wrote to you on the

other support group about a month ago to see how you were doing.

My surgery has finally been scheduled for June 28th...HOORAY, only a

little over 3 weeks till my big day!! I am going through all those

fun pre-op appointments.

Hearing that all went well for you gives me confidence that my

recovery will be the same!

Take Care & keep in touch,
