Yeah, I know, your well of compassion is probably quite low about now, the recent past has been quite rough and continues to be so.
My brother David goes in for surgery tomorrow in Los Angeles, he has a cyst on his pancreas.
The doctors hope to only take the cyst and as little of the pancreas as possible but they don’t really know what they’re going to find until they see it and so they can make no promises about anything.
This is a serious and dangerous time for my brother and your positive energy and your prayers would be very welcome.
My dad is a doctor so I’ve spent my entire life around them. Some are nicer than others but every last doctor I’ve ever met is exceptional at what they do. Your brother is in very good hands.
Good luck to him, I’ll be thinking about him but rest assured he’s in good hands.
Best wishes to you and your family. As someone (Cranky?) pointed out in another thread, this week must be very tough for people who are dealing with personal crossroads as well as trying to cope with the great big national one.
Your brother already has good fortune, as evidenced by the fact that he wound up with such a class act for a sister.
TubaDiva, I don’t know if you’re one for virtual hugs or not, but know that I’ve got as many as you need handy for you if you want them. At any rate, hang in there. I’m sending positive, warm, healing, thoughts your and your brother’s way, dear. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
