Thanks everybody...for the insights, prayers and well wishes from all...

Four hours to go, and I guess I'll find it all out first hand...

I know laparoscopic surgery is supposed to be a fairly routine procedure these days, but so is childbirth, and I've witnessed how "routine" that can be several times!

Oh well, it will soon be over, for better or worse, and then I can turn my mind to other things again. Like that fancy dinner which Curious has promised me in order to put some meat on my bones...

Take care, all, and thank you so much again!
