Keep Malinda in your prayers. I think she has gotten all the opinions she can on this surgery. I am worried for her too. I think from what I understand this is her only chance at having quality of life. I don't think she would go ahead with this this unless it was critical that she do so. I will be in touch with her maybe tomorrow by phone. I am beat today, as I ran around to several doctors, and the dentist. I am praying for you too today Eva, and yes Malinda. Take care Eva, sleep good tonight. ginnie
