More thank yous- Sunday 10/23

I wanted to say thank you to more people for their generous gifts- my Kohl's gift certificate, beads of courage, prayer shawl, cards, and especially for the prayers and kind words.  I am in a holding patter now until Friday before my surgery when I have some pre-surgery appointments.  I will be using the time to prepare for my leave at work and to get things organized at home.  I will keep needing encouragement because I know the closer I get to surgery, the harder it's going to be.
