Hi Amy,
I know that you are scared and I want you to know that I am praying for
you. I am sorry that I cannot answer your questions- but I hope that
you know that we are here to support you and you are in our thoughts.
Hang in there... I hope that your surgery goes well and I am crossing
my fingers and toes for you and wishing you many pain free days. P.S.
Thank you for all of your wonderful support here on the forum and thank
you for all of your emails to me. You have really lifted my spirits
when I needed it most. Sincerely, Amy Swanson
