Clarice,

Best wishes for a successful surgery! You will be in wonderful hands at House -- they'll all take great care of you during your stay. Hope you'll have time to see some of the sights around L.A. -- my husband and I took in quite a few tourist-y things both before and after my surgery. It was fun, plus a wonderful way of keeping your mind focused on more enjoyable things than surgery.

Clarice, you know that you are such a dear friend and I will be thinking of you Weds.      The angels will be watching over you and keeping you safe!      Have a good trip with some enjoyment too and will be looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Dear Clarice,

I will be sending wonderful vibes from the surgery through `the recovery.  

In 1989 I had surgery nearby there at UC Irvine.   I was all alone and took public buses down to Newport Beach and Balboa.  Balboa is my dream place to visit.   You walk out on the pier and there is a hamburger restaurant called Ruby's.   Take your order upstairs and eat your hamburger and milkshake facing west...all you  can see is the ocean and Catalina Island.  Ir's incredible.   They also make breakfast.    Then walk back a few blocks to town and take the ferry to Balboa Island where there's a village of cute little beach homes and very friendly people.

May the wind be behind you!

Clarice,
You are probably enjoying sunny CA by now. Hopefully you can enjoy the beach and burgers like Mei Mei suggested. That sounds like so much fun, and so simple! Ah those simple joys of life.

You will be in my prayers especially on Wednesday. I'll be flying to TX (again!) for my son's graduation from college in SAntonio, so will keep you in prayer as I'm flying the friendly skies. (Sorry, K, no trip to Houston this time  ;) )

You will do marvelously, I am confident.

Peace to you and Truman,
Maureen

OH NO!!!!! i thought i had just missed a couple of weeks on the forum. i come back and i see all this talk of clarice's surgery and couldn't find it anywhere. now that i've found out about the surgery, i am also realizing that i missed 3 months of your life, clarice! how did i do that? i don't know. i never saw this thread before.

so, i am glad you are settling in there and now that i know what's up with you i will be praying for you.

big hugs and lots of prayers and love and concern from the east coast, for both you and your hubby,
