What a nice note. I talked to Cindy yesterday on the phone and she helped me so much. I am watching the President talking right now on TV about the "future of our country" and I felt a twang of fear for our safety because of terrorism, but I know that God is with us on this journey. I thank you from my heart for all of your prayers and that you are pain free. I don't look forward to the flight......owwwy!!!! But to be free of adhesions, well, I can't imagine life without them. I'm glad you're back and feeling better. You can e-mail me personally if you want about anything that you might think I need to know. I've talked to Dawn in length, but it's always good to find out as much as possilbe and from other perspectives. Feel free to fill me in on everything!!! God bless you and enjoy your new life. I bet your husband is thrilled!!! I know my Dan will be. There is life after adhesions and Pam and I are going to find it this coming week. I'm soooooooo glad that I have her going too.
Love and hugs, Tonya
