tomorrow sometime probably ok. She did get on the phone with me and said, she

was now switched. Another switch-ed sister! She is in room 457A at CPMC,

don't have any number yet. I talked with her hubby who gave me the update.

Patty: Thanks SO much for the update! I hope Theresa has a smooth and

uneventful recovery... ouch about the IBS and intestines, though... IT is

quite possible she began 'spazzing out on him' when he cut or something... My

colon did this during a colonoscopy and the dr. couldn't get the scope out

b/c I kept 'grabbing' it! OUCH!

all the best,
