Thank you to you all for the many, many good wishes and prayers. I had
my surgery 2 weeks ago and it was easy-peasy, lol. I had no pain, no gas,

Hi Sleevers, so sorry to tell you that I have to postpone my surgery. I fell down some stairs on Tuesday, Sept 4th and broke my ankle in 3 places.

So I will be postponing my surgery because my injury will not be healed by Oct 6th.
