At the risk of stating the obvious, as he is coming out of all of this in the next few days, remember to massage his feet, legs, hands and arms. As we all know, touch is an amazing thing - for both of you. Hugs

Sending positive thoughts your way, Mimi. I hope you find something to do to keep busy today. I can imagine how hard it is to sit there, waiting. At least you have us. :)
Mimi, I hope all goes well today, it is harder to watch someone we love go through things like this than to go through them ourselves....
My mom is having lung surgery next Wed...I will be headed to Tennessee on Tuesday and will return that weekend. I likely won't have much in the way of internet access while I am gone.
Sending positive and healing vibes to you and your mom, Catrin. Safe travels.Quote:

Mimi and (next week) Catrin, +1 on the good vibes for you both.
Mimi, I hope everything goes smoothly today. Thinking of you and RD!
I've been thinking about you and RD all day, Mimi. It makes my silly health issues feel small.
Catrin, wishing your mom good luck next week.
dear Crankin
your silly health issues aren't small. But yes, be glad you aren't on a table with the doctor doing the "abdominal part" of your surgery.
Dear TE gals
I have received two very positive updates so far from the team. They are in the last leg.. some good news, at least before they went in, they decided to let him keep his gallbladder since it wasn't bothering him. and Catrin, let us know how your mom does too.
I have a private waiting room at the hospital, with a phone, sofa (big enough to sleep on) table, wifi, and tv. three different bike friends have come down here to hold my hand and visit. will let you know when it's done.
Mimi, my thoughts are with you and Don right now.
I'm glad you at least have a comfortable room to wait it through those hours of waiting. Ugh, i remember my days of sitting on the hallway floors at St.Vincent's hosp in NYC, waiting for word from the doctors or nurses about my mother.... it's no fun.
Don is so strong and positive a force...and so are you! xox
I've been thinking about the two of you all day - hope the news continues to be positive.
I've been thinking of you today.
going crazy here waiting for a phone call. argh.. but i'd rather the doctor didn't rush at this point.
as i sit here typing i think this is sort of nutty that i am sitting here typing to you guys news about surgery but hey, that's the way the world works these days. My son is here now and we are waiting together.
A long damn day all around. But if good vibes and love help at all, you guys have those in HUGE volume.
Dear Whoever's in Charge of This Stuff,
Could you please fix it so that today's results are really, really good? We would SO appreciate it. Thank you.
