Hi Ray:
Best wishes on your surgery and subsequent regaining of good health and a great weight loss! I pray all goes well and you recover quickly. Keep those toes moving while laying in bed and get up and walk frequently. Ask for the pain medicine before you need it -- stay ahead of the pain. Ask for frozen glycerin sticks for your dry throat after surgery -- they are great. Be nice to the nurses and they'll take GREAT care of you! Your friend,
