Caringbridge Page to keep you updated
« on: March 30, 2010, 10:14:32 pm »
Hello all,
Well only 2 more days and then my surgery.  It's starting to get a little more frighting each day.  I have tomorrow and Thursday off to be with my girls, I think we are doing the zoo tomorrow.

I have created a caring bridge page to make easy for husband or girls to update everyone at once.    Here is the info:

To keep you up to date on my health condition, I created a CaringBridge website. You can follow my progress and show your support.

Visit my website in two easy ways:

    1. Visit my CaringBridge website by clicking the link below.
        http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/supportsusan

    2. Enter my website name, supportsusan, at www.CaringBridge.org.


To visit you’ll need the website password, because I’ve chosen to keep the site private.
Website Password: susansinfo

I'm hoping you all will go to this and keep up with my progress.
Wish me lots of luck, at least it's Good Friday!!

Thanks gang, this will still always be my first and foremost site to update.  I will be giving my husband Bill and daughter Dani my password and all to let everyone how I do tomorrow.

All of you have always been there for me and I really appreciate it.

Keep me in your prayers tomorrow, and yes it is GOOD FRIDAY!

See you all on the other side unless a post one more time tonight!

Read the  caringbridge and you sailed through surgery.! Only 6 hours too, so everything appears to have gone well. Congratulations!
Out of ICU too. Yea! Prayers for no complications.
