Positive thoughts and best wishes from here. Hope it all goes smoothly and well. I have seen with my own eyes how this sort of thing can work. I can’t explain it but I suspect it has to do with the Power of Positive Thinking, in whatever form that takes with each individual. May it work for you. ---

Thanks to all of you with the good thoughts and prayers. The surgery was long and intensive but successful; my mother is now in subacute care. They expect to move her to a regular room sometime next week. Recovery will be a couple months or more but she’s going to come out of this is better shape than she’s been in for a long time, truly the beginning of the rest of her life and an improved quality of everyday living. Please keep a good thought for me and mine as we do what needs be done. And thank you again; I’m convinced her good outcome is because of all the great folks pulling for her. I pray for strength to be patient and kind during the lengthy recovery. Jenny ---
