Thanks so much for your kind words, Marcellarius. Her surgury went well but the kept her for three days because she is pregnant and they wanted to monitor the baby. We got lucky and her husband got to call her every day. He is in Djboudi, Africa. My granddaughter is two, and even though I only get to see her every few months, she remembered me and we had no problems being without mommy. I am actually having a great time. I do miss my husband, my dogs, and my saw.
