Hi Julie .....

Adding my well wishes for your surgery this week.  You are in excellent hands with Dr. Akagami so I hope you can relax going in to surgery.  (I truly believe going in to surgery as relaxed as possible makes for a faster, easier recovery.)

Many thoughts and prayers.

Surgery complete, Oct 7, out of hospital Oct. 10. Minimal post op. Pain. Ssd, minimal palsy, going to get better. No complications thus far. I am feeling blessed. Relaxing at the apartment and hopefully fly home on the 15th! God is good.
