Dearest Kirsten,
I am really sorry to hear that you require surgery, it is always a scarey thought, but I am certain you will come through it with flying colours because everyone on PT will be praying and sending you positive vibes for a speedy recovery.

I sure understand your'e worry about the kitty's , I hate the thought of leaving mine even for a day, but they will be fine, just concentrate on getting well Kirsten so you can be re-united with them as soon as possible.
Take care and speedy recovery wishes are on their way.
