Hey dear Anne~ You got it friend; I will keep both you and Russell in my prayers. You have had so much to deal with and this is yet another hurdle, but I have faith that both of you will clear those hurdles and have a less stressful 2009.

I really believe that the surgeon would not do both of R's knees if he didn't think he could handle it and come out of it just fine. And you, my dear~ need to get that post op checkup and keep working on getting some help for you while DH is recuping.

Keep us posted my lil Aussie bud and remember that we are all here for you and I'm sending lots of hugs and prayers your way.
