Hi All! Surgery went fine even though they had to add an incision to get it out - had a lot of adhesions around it they had to deal with. So I have 4 little incisions rather than 3. If you connect them just right they look like Elvis - LOL! I'm very sore but not as bad as I thought it was going to be - so I'm on the down hill side now. Hubby's been taking good care of me and spoiling me a bit with ice cream! We also got some great news today from his younger brother. They are expecting a baby in January and we are all besides ourselves with joy. Tom and I got married 27 years ago, but his brothers just got married in the last 5 years. So, we'd kind of given up on any children coming along - so this is big for us! AND - it looks like my job in Mexico is a go - so starting June 30th, I'll be going there every week for 6 months. It's a great project with some great people so I'm really looking forward to it. Now I've got to learn some Spanish! Thanks again for everyones well wishes - nice to have friends! M.
