I went thru a period of depression before my surgery for stomach cancer.  I was sick of being sick.  I had a very good surgeon myself and was not too concened about that.  Anymore surgery seems to be routine and they have so many better ways of doing things today.  I was told that I would have practically been cut in half if I had needed my surgery 10 years ago.

scott, you always give me strength and courage... I like the

way you said that God put people in your life... I feel that

way too about my situation...

 

I was able, through my relatives and doctors, to get the

very best team available for my surgery on monday....

I'm really not all that worried, since I'll be asleep and I have

total faith in God, but I started, against my will, to have

panic attacks... I think it's mainly due to putting my mother

in a facilility for a few weeks while I recover...

 

this group, your people, took me from being angry and

resentful towards my mother and being mad about being

with her 24/7 and giving up my life and freedom, to the

present day of loving her and worrying about her, and not

wanting to leave her side...

 

what a miracle...

 

I love you all greatly...
