29. thanks Redqueen

i work with a couple MDs and i went to one this morning and said, talk me down, my daughter-in-law's going in for brain surgery this morning. he said she will be so much better after the surgery and the worst thing that could happen is actually not life threatening or involving permanent injury/disability.

[redqueen]

30. That sounds very encouraging ...

glad you have some MDs close at hand to help talk you down.

Also, I hope you don't mind me asking, but did you actually say 'talk me down'?

[barbtries]

33. lol

yep. i said it.

[1gobluedem]

31. Vibes, energy, and prayers coming your way from a survivor

I had brain surgery 21 years ago for an acousic neuroma. Positive attitude is key, that's what my doctor told me. And here I am, 21 years later.

[barbtries]

32. thank you

i'm so glad you're still here!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Positive thoughts and major vibes for your daughter-in-law!

I just read the thread, and I'm so glad her prognosis is good!

Please update us as you're able...

And take care of yourself too, OK?

[barbtries]

36. thank you

dear CaliforniaPeggy! she's been in for longer now than was predicted, unless i'm getting my math wrong. the nurses are updating my son and say it's going well.
i can't wait until it's over, i'm at work and completely useless.
