Hi Rachael,

I would have to aggree with the others here. This is a pretty major surgery, and the recovery really isnt a piece of cake either. Take time to take care of yourself. Dont worry about Christmas cards. And if I were you i wouldnt even bother with decorations, getting the tree up, christmas lights, etc. you dont want to be bothered with taking them down after Christmas and after surgery. Everyone will totally understand. And besides you will have many more healthy Christmas's to come!

Good luck! And take care of YOU!
