Merry Christmas to all of my heart brothers and sisters. Enjoyed a wonderful morning with my family, and could not stop thinking about how grateful I am that God placed me in the hands of competent surgeons so I could enjoy another Christmas. Life is great!!!!

Glad to hear she is doing well! Best wishes for continued recovery.
My thoughts have also been with my new moo buddy, Mindy Currence, who had a similar procedure on the same as me a mere 3 miles away in another hospital. One day we'll have to get together and compare notes!
