On Monday I will be having back surgery at the University of Michigan Hospital.

Don't know how soon after I will be able to get on line. I will see if or how I can get word out to you guys how it all went. Hope I'll be back in touch soon!

Pat, I will PM you my phone number, so you can either call, or have a friend call us!

Good luck, Pat. I'm hoping that it won't be nearly as bad as you are expecting. But I guess it's best to prepare for the worst, and then be pleasantly surprised when it wasn't too bad afterall. Always worked for me.................

[Felicia's Mom]

Good luck. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much, Karen and Ellie and Nancy!

I'm doing my best to keep a positive outlook, on how much better I'll be doing and feeling after this.

Pat ~ Keeping you and your kits in my prayers. I know this will all work out for the best.

Gentle hugs.

Wishing you the very best of luck with the surgery. I also pray that your recovery is quick & uncomplicated & the kitties behave while
you are away. I'm glad that Karen can let everyone know afterwards.

Prayers and positive thoughts following you through this journey.

Pat - take your cell phone. They encourage you to use them at the U. I was able to use mine the first day after my brain tumor - great reception. You might also check - call them on Sunday - to see if you could use a laptop computer. When I had my recent hip replacement out at Chelsea, I was able to use their wi-fi - and I would think/hope the U would have a similar set-up.

Got it and will absolutely be thinking of you, praying and wishing you all the best.

As a follow-up to what Grace said- you might ask if your nursing unit has a laptop or a tablet you can use, too. Most of the units at the hospital where I work have one or the other for patients to access education programs and get on-line.

Good luck Pat, many purrs from Kaveri and Shiela.

[Catty1]

All prayers that all goes well and you will heal quickly.

Good thoughts & prayers sent your way.

Thanks, everyone, for all the prayers and good wishes. I plan to sail through this with flying colors (maize and blue, the U-M colors, anyway)!

And thanks, Gretchen and Elyse, for the tips on using your cell phone and checking about using a laptop, or even better if they have laptops available for the patients to use.

My sister will have my laptop and will bring it to me when I know I can use it. A catsitting client who is a social worker at the U told me that if I bring my own laptop, there might be a risk of it being stolen.

Thanks again! I am at Starbucks on my laptop right now (still don't have internet at home). Will try and get to the library later this afternoon for another check-in before the big day.
