Hurray!!!!  Now you have tangible proof that we are all there with you.  (I sure hope Lisa can leave it at HEI or Seton Hall for the two of us immediately following both of you.)  You are almost a postie!  Thoughts and prayers are with you all day tomorrow.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I passed the scarf on to Lisa Robie on the 11th.  It was a big help to have it with me.

For those of you with access to my Caring Bridge site, I added pictures yesterday.  If you don't have access, PM me your email address and I'll set it up for you.

I can also post pics here, but it's not likely to happen today.  Time for me to rest...

FYI  - It was nice to meet Liz and for her to pass the Magic Scarf on to me.  I cherished my time with it and have passed it on to Karen.  I haven't been on for a while, but her surgery is scheduled for tomorrow.  I had to leave the Scarf with Laurie at HEI as I was leaving LA before Karen was arriving.  Good luck to you, Karen.

P.S.  I have a picture on my Caring Bridge site, but will also try to post it here as well.

Thanks Lisa!  I received the scarf and was able to share it with a 17 year old who had surgery immediately after mine.

Who would like it next??????

I'm down for surgery on November 28th and if possible would love to have it also.... I think it would be a comfort to have it but understand if I can't get it.  I know there are alot of surgeries going on...

Prayers to all who are facing surgery right now!!

I felt like I wasn't alone in this journey by having the magic scarf with me.  I'm glad that you both will be able to have it with you.

Ditto to everything Glenda said to Chris.   Thanks again Lisa for passing on the scarf to me so I could pass it on to Chris.
