Bruce -
Special prayers for you coming up! What time Tuesday is your surgery?
You stay strong and calm - we are all in awe of what you've already been through - please have someone in your family post for you and let us know how things go - that way we can send cheerful messages to you!
I know you can get through this.
Cheers
DulcimerGal

Hi Bruce, Not sure I will be online tomorrow night but wanted to wish you the best. I will remember you in my prayers and will send up some special prayers for you and the surgeons Tuesday morning. You and my husband have similar stories. He goes in on the 12th for second liver resection. One of the tumors is too close to the lung for RFA so they have to open him up again. I wish all of you could find a new road!
I will thinking of you and your family.
Bless you,
Lucinda |

Bruce - we are all hoping and praying all went well for you today.
Had to say half the rosary on the way home this evening - so you got wrapped in prayer - I started on the way to work but got a work problem in the middle...so finished up tonight .....
Glad to hear you know how Dulcimers sound...aren't they sweet!
Rest up - we are all thinking of you
Cheers
DulcimerGal
