Robin...todays the 11th...try to free your head and
not think about it till the day before...listen to
music, read a good book...try to stay busy. I hate
the thought of you thinking about that. I wouldn't
like it without laproscopy either. Dr. Gerhart
responded to my e-mail and said he could fix my hernia
at the same time I get checked for adhesions...all
laproscopy. It's a matter of how long I can hang
on...save money, and take time off. I still want to
see if it gets better after time (LOL). I wish you
could do laproscopy, too. Watch funny movies. Tell
your family to tell you jokes all the time. I wish I
could free your worries and jitters...or I should say
"ease" them at least. Lots of love, hugs, and
laughter to you, Marianne
