Dear Petie,
All my best wishes, thoughts and prayers are coming your way for your upcoming surgery. I'll see you on the other side. Many regards and G-d Bless you.
Way to go my friend! I couldn't believe it when I read your news. What a GREAT Christmas present... and just think, it's the first year of NOT having that Christmas food attatch itself to your hips. I am praying for you and luv you kid!
