Boy, you've sure had more than your share of health problems this year! Prayer going out for a quick recovery and fast trip in and out of the hospital. I think this type of surgery is pretty much standard these days and expect to hear from you soon! Big gigantic cyber hugs to you! Maybe ask your daughter to send us a report after surgery so we know you're ok??
Oh...and meltdowns are allowed and encouraged here...we specialize in that! I always figure it's better to do it here than to the family and scare them half to death!!
