Connie - surgery bud

[Guest guest]

Hi Connie!

I responded to this privately, at least I thought I did. I wonder if it

actually went through,

I'm sorry if it didn't!

How are you doing? Sounds like you had some infection issues (ick!) and have

hard

patches. I'm sorry, that sounds painful. How have you been holding up?

I am doing well and my recovery seems to be going smoothly.

Let me know how you are!
