> Hi Everyone and Happy Mother's Day. I just walked in the door about 10

> considerable amount of pain from all of the walking we did but it was
> worth every painful step. I had been in contact with Rose prior to my
> trip. I knew that she was having her surgery on Friday and asked her if
> I could call her husband to see how she was on Saturday. Suprisingly
> she answered the phone! Here we all talk to one another everyday online,
> but to actually TALK to someone is reaaly wonderful! She said her
> surgery lasted 2 hours and that her doctor found four really big
> adhesions. When she woke up in recovery, her nurse asked her what her
> pain level was and she told her a 4 (on a scale of 1-10). The nurse
> said "But you were at an 8 before surgery." Rose indicated to her that
> the adhesion pain is very severe and she could tell a difference from
> the moment she woke up that she was better. Isn't that great!! The
> docotor said she could return to work on Wednesday is she felt up to it.
> She said that her hubby was very relieved too. She was resting in her
> chair with he kitty on her lap which she had not been able to do for a
> very long time and her kitty was purring up a storm! See, adhesions even
> affect our pets!!
> Just wanted to let everyone know our Rose is doing fine.
> Much Love and Prayers to all,
