Hi, Debbi:

I echo Tamara's sentiments.

Please know that as you're being wheeled into the operating room, you'll be in the prayers of many people from all over who care what happens and are confident that you'll have a complication-free and very successful surgery.  We'll await a full report from your designated poster when you're done with the surgery.  Until then, get your rest, stay positive and know that we're all here for you.  :)

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Debbi
I hope you get a chance today to read all this and know that you have a lot of people here who are going to be with you in thought and prayer tomorrow morning.  We will all be anxiously waiting for Willie's post about your successful surgery.  I just read your Blog -- have a great dinner.  Tomorrow at this time you will be in ICU craving ice chips -- but the surgery will be over and you'll be on your way to a speedy recovery.

Best wishes -- my prayers are with you.

Debbi -  Hopefully you're snoozing peacefully with a pretty "hat" on by now!  Hang in there - the first few days are rough, but they get better and better!  We Jersey girls are tough - so I know you'll be up and at' em in no time!
