>Dear Karla

>Thanks for your help I am now receiving mail again. They postponed my

more
>time with me as he has to cut me from sternum to pubic bone because of the
>mesh he put there to hold my hernia - also to get at all adhesions and put
>the ileostomy and a gastric tube in. He said I would wake up in intensive
>care as the op will take a few hours. I am really scared because I have
>already been on life support three times before and I am hoping that it
will
>not be necessary this time. I would like to wish you all the best for your
>op in July; and please let me know how you get on. Love Robyne
