Update 2

[Karen]

Her leg is hurting because of the hernia: a nerve gets pinched all the time
The surgery should be taking away the hernia, so the pain in her leg should be gone instantly! She is fearing the moment after surgery though when the surgeon will be coming to her and ask to move her toes, leg, knees...

After my surgery (acoustic neuroma), the first questions they asked were if I knew what year it was, where I was, who the president was ... so to that one, I replied "Do you want to know who the President is, or who I *wish* it was ..." and the nurse laughed and said "You're okay!"

So tell Lut to study up ...

and she's still in our prayers, of course!

Still thinking of you Lutje, still missing you terribly. I hope you are feeling a little better today. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I love you, my dear friend.

UPDATE from MYSELF !!(= LUT)

It is now 2.45 pm GMT+1 hour (= 1 hour later than in London).
I am expecting my hubby home at 3.40 pm. We will be leaving for hospital right away then .
In fact I should be scared terribly; but not this time:
My painkillers, even the patches, are NOT helping me anymore . This is making life not worth living anymore for me... . Sounds hard, I know, but that is how bad I feel!!

ps. from now on my updates will be posted by Brody's Mom (Denise), or my daughter Indra .

Bye dearest friends!! Cannot wait to write here "I AM BACK" in huge red coloured capitals! I LOVE YOU ALL !!!

Will soon be over dearest Lut!!

We will all be thinking of you xxx
