Oh, that must send emotions on roller coaster. Sorry u have to wait.❤️
So sorry to hear this Heidi. So close to surgery time. Hang in there. God bless you

Thanks all for your comments...I guess this was just a dress rehearsal on my part. Lol😉
Love your attitude! Exactly the dress rehearsal 😂‼️
Hi Heidi.

That's hard, but glad you're taking it okay. Go do something fun instead!
