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.................

To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

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.
Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.
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.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

Good luck Pat, many purrs from Kaveri and Shiela.
All prayers that all goes well and you will heal quickly.

Good thoughts & prayers sent your way.
The frost is on the pumpkin & I've been BOO'D by two pet talk ghosts.
Thank you Fritz & Cassiesmom
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.
