So sorry about that, Don, wishing you best results and recovery, I put in a good word to the spirits for you, sending big mojo!
If it's ok, I'll do quotes for as long as you want me to -

Go for it, I will let you know when normal comes back.

Having gone through that a few times, the day before is always the worst. I keep my fingers crossed that the results will be good.

Don, you won't mind if I add a few prayers to the list, will you? They surely won't hurt--and they may help! :>)

I hope all goes well. DH had one of those operations, and he said the "day before" was worse than the day after.
