Thank You for your Prayers, etc.

Mrs njretcop (Carol) and I would like to thank all of the members of the board for your prayers, thoughts, well wishes, or expression of concern.

She underwent more than seven hours of surgery yesterday and her prognosis is very good for a complete recovery.

A team of doctors performed a bi-lateral mastectomy and re-constructive surgery. All of the cancer was apparently contained within the affected area and no spread was detected. (Note to the guys here so you don't have to ask your wife or girlfriend, a bi-lateral mastectomy with re-constuction means that both breasts were removed and flesh taken from tha area of the abdomen to re-build them.........and no, to date there is no procedure for taking flesh from a male body and adding it to an organ on our bodies, haha.)

Many of the people on this board, some of whom I have not yet met in person, are so like family to us and I would like to thank you all again. Your support at this time means much more than you know.....

Charlie

    Charlie: I am so glad to hear the good news! The Mrs. will be riding in the Hudson soon and will be pulling on your chain in no time!
    Give her our best wishes. Would it be possible to post an address so that we might send her a card.

    That is good news indeed, glad she is doing well with such a great prognosis.

    Charlie, for your and JustC's benefit, see a cosmetic surgeon, there are indeed procedures envolving skin grafts that will turn those hand guns into long guns.

    that is wonderful news. I am so glad she'll be ok.
    Praise Jesus! He gets all the credit.


    About that surgery to correct some male inadequacies.
    It's been around since 1977 in Ne. I cared for the
    very first case in our state. |Needless to say, I
    was shooing people out of the room before he woke
    up. Won't say why.

    Well, I'd give a good bit of credit to the surgeons...

    ...but I don't want to turn this thread into a religious debate.

    Glad to hear the good news, Charlie; wishing your wife a fast recovery.
