It was a grueling day of tests and interviews ..... so glad that part of over.  See Dr. Friedman at 8:30 in the morning, surgery is scheduled for 11:00.  Hopefully Truman will update this thread after surgery tomorrow.  On my way to bed and hopefully a good night's rest.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.

OK...I know this is Truman's job & I'm sure he'll be along later with a better update, but I also know how we all worry!!  Clarice is out of surgery and the doctors said it went well!

YEA!!
