Yesterday’s surgery went well. We arrived at the hospital at 8:30am and were sent to Surgery Daycare. From there it was the routine that has become so familiar…change into the gown, get IV hooked up and wait. Steve and I met with the surgeon around 11:15am. The surgeon explained the procedure and that I would be given a sedative that would make me feel like I had 2 or 3 glasses of wine...we all know for me, that’s more like 4 or 5 glasses. When I got into the operating room, Dave, a member of the surgical team, said they like to play music during surgery…great. We chose The Rolling Stones; then came the sedative. It was like being at a toga party, except I was the only one wearing a sheet. I was awake through the entire surgery so the doctor would periodically ask how I was doing. The only part of me that hurt was my butt because the operating table didn’t have a lot of padding. When the surgery was over, I was sent to recovery for 3 hours so they could monitor my vitals. I’ll be having a follow with my family doctor next week so she can remove the bandages.
A few of you have asked about the Web site that sells the t-shirts. I’ve pasted the link below.

Kim,
It was great to see you on Friday. Thanks for the heads up on the Rolling Stones CD. I'll definitely have to bring my own, when it's my turn.
Enjoy your long weekend.

Hi Kim,
I bumped into Sandra the other night at Milestones for dinner. Im not sure if you remember me or not as the only time we met was at Sandra's Shower. I just wanted to leave a note and thank for you sharing your experiences, it has been very educational and even amusing!! I must agree with Mark, you never know what you will learn from the Bev's daily lessons!
I want you to know I have been thinking about you and your family!! Stay as strong as you are!!
