    aw, you guys are making me cry.. thanks.
    some good news: dr doesn't want to take out his gallbladder after all! one less insult to his body.
    especially since his gallbladder never bothered him, we both thought it was stinky that they considered it a "throw away" organ.
    he's in surgery now. he maintained an incredibly good attitude even as they doped him up. hes an amazing man.

    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.

    Dear Self: whatever whiny thing you were going to post here really doesn't matter. You have your health, and at the moment, so do the people you love. Keep that in mind and have a good day.

    Mimi and (next week) Catrin, +1 on the good vibes for you both.
