I will keep you in my prayers. I was at Shands back in 2007 for my eye surgery (correct my double vision). I went in as an outpatient but I must say I was very pleased with my surgeon and the facility.

Lyn, 

I too was a patient of Antonelli/Lewis in 2005.  They are wonderful and the facility is tops.  Rest peacefully knowing you are in very capable hands and the team of nurses surrounding you are the best!  Blessings to you and everyone!

Hi Lyn,
I just want to wish you all the best for your surgery on the 14th.  I realized that since we won't get back from Los Angeles until after your date, I'd better message you today. We're leaving on Sunday, so it's getting down to the wire. I'll be thinking of you. You've picked a wonderful surgical team and I know you'll do great. See you again on the postie side.

Good luck with your surgery that was my mother-in-laws birthday and I feel it is a very lucky date, no mother-in-law jokes here.


My prayers will be with you,

Thanks!!!

I'm feeling very good about this.  I'm sure I will be nervous the day of the surgery (and maybe the night before?), but right now I feel pretty good about things.  Law school final exams are a GREAT distraction!   :D

Thanks for all of your prayers and positive thoughts.  I'm sending them all right back to all of you, too!
