Cathie,

I agree totally with Tony . . . you have so much strength. I am not trying to downplay all the suffering you have been through or that the surgery will bring . . . but I look forward to seeing you on the other side of this operation. It looks to me that you are already preparing yourself in the way that you do -- marshaling your resources, getting your focus, etc. etc.

I will hold a thought about coming through fine, with marked improvement.
