QS,
I wish for you a very quick recovery. If you can get through the Wild Wild West Marathon and still look as good as you did in the photos I saw, you can get through anything, the WWM is not a piece of cake. I'm sure your surgery will be a slice of pie, which in my book is much better than a piece of cake.
Someone once gave me some good advice before I had my wisdom teeth taken out. They told me that because I was going to be put to sleep I should remember to "Think Only Good Thoughts" right before I'm put to sleep because whatever a person is thinking about when they are put to sleep will be the same thoughts they will dream about throughout their surgery, so if you think good thoughts you'll wake up happy and probably have an easier recovery. I took their advice and I had the most wonderful dreams while I was out and I recovered quickly.
I look forward to your posts after your surgery.
I'll be thinking about you on Tuesday,
All the best to you,
Lynn-a-roo
