a HUGE hug for Kyla!!

She couldn’t give me a hug before my surgery, so she sent me something else to put around my neck: A beautiful scarf!

I love it–THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I needed a scarf, too. Mine is about 3 years old and it sucked even when I bought it for $4 or so at Walmart.

You totally made my day, Kyla. What a great surprise! :eek:

Thank you! bouncy bouncy

:slight_smile:

That is so cool.

Ya know, Opal, I’ll be up that way this weekend. I’m sure you won’t be up to doing anything too exciting, so when I pass through VA on my way to Baltimore I’ll make sure to send good, heal-y type thoughts your way.

Good luck with your surgery, and I hope you have a really quick and painless recovery!

I’ll post my room number in my journal for anyone in the area who feels bored enough to visit, btw.

You’re welcome, Opal! My pleasure. Good luck with the surgery!

I’m so ready for this.

Shopping list for “by wednesday” is:

slippers for the hospital
teddy bear for the hospital (holding something against your tummy when sitting up/rolling over/coughing, etc makes it hurt less)
scale with digital readout
blank cds (he’s gonna record the surgery onto 'em for me)

And then I show up at 6am at the hospital on monday and my life changes :slight_smile:

Stop that now. At least stop it some time after Thursday :cool:
