Getting ready for D day, just chillin with my furry kid. Lots to do before 9/27 surgery. All will go well, I said my prayers today and I am convinced things will go as planned
You will do very well! Prayers are the most important and a positive outlook. I think you got both covered. I'll be praying for you.

That's the spirit, Martha! Everything is going to be just fine! Stay positive. You can do this!
