The CT scan for an unrelated problem sounds like it was
very lucky for you. Any thing caught early is much more treatable!

I know you will sail right through.
I will be chanting.

Will be directed towards you and your medical team. Wishing you an unremarkable procedure and a quick recovery.

I will keep a good thought. I wish you all the best. You seem to have a good attitude and I'm sure that will help. Take care of yourself and I look forward to having you back here soon!

Please let us know how it all goes.

Much love,
MIButterfly

CaliforniaPeggy, out prayers and energies are fully in your corner. God Speed.

We look forward to seeing your wonderful self here again.

All the best to you
We love you.

Thank goodness for science! Will be thinking of you CaliforniaPeggy

You are one of my DU heroes, making life more beautiful for everyone. I hope the scans reveal nothing wrong and that you aren’t uncomfortable afterwards. Warmth, light and health to you. Ec

so we can hold you in our hearts.

Hope all goes well.

wait for this procedure. I will be holding you in the light on Thursday for your comfort and most of all for good news.

My practice is to say a prayer, and I will say that prayer Thursday morning. My prayer will be for you, for the medical team, and for your daughter as I'm sure she will be anxious. Anything medical is scary, but it sounds like you have a realistic attitude towards this.

Know that you are loved here and everyone will be holding good thoughts and positive vibes. Please update us as soon as practical. Until the time of your procedure, may you have peace of mind and comfort. Do some things to pamper yourself and rest and sleep when you can.

All the VERY best...

Know that we are thinking of you, Peggy.

We are with you, CaliforniaPeggy. Please keep us posted when you can

telling us that all went well.

In the meantime, you are in my thoughts.

positive healing vibes CaliforniaPeggy!

and she is doing fine 20 years later. (((HUGS!)))

Isn't modern medicine wonderful? Isn't it great having trained, caring, trustworthy doctors and caregivers?

You have a great positive outlook and that sure helps! We’ll look forward to hearing good news in a few days. Love to you always.

And good thoughts coming your way for the results.💕

The higher you go in medicine, the greater the expertise.

Do you have to be NPO after midnight? That's a long time, if so.

Good thoughts being held.

As long as I am NPO from 7:45 a.m. that Thursday morning, I'm good.

...that surgeons have lightened up on the standard nothing-after-midnight routine. No food is not that big a deal, but nothing to drink can be a real drag.

All the best your way....

Amazing what they can do these days. A couple of years ago I had gall stones removed via my stomach. Only had a bit of a sore throat.
Wishibg All the best for you.

thoughts and energy winging their way to you from all of us!! Hoping you can get lots of good rest in the next couple of days to build up your best strength. Will be thinking of you, Thursday afternoon knowing you are tackling this with a great attitude and that your DU family is always in your corner! Love and hugs🧡🧡🧡

Take care .

I’ve been through similar things. I know how scary it is. You have the right attitude though.

yes INDEED

uneventful surgery, Ms. Peggy. We will be looking for you here when you're up to it.

I highly recommend lots of popsicles and ice cream for your throat but you already know that

California Peggy - I will be thinking of you on this journey. I imagine the “not knowing” and the “waiting to find out” are so hard - please remember that so many here at DU are pulling for you. I know if I could take the weight for you - I would!

Having survived a few bouts with cancer, I know the stakes. But all we can do is trust our doctors and do what they say. You seem to have that down pat. I wish you only the best and I hope and pray that the results will not show any cancer.

Fingers crossed and a candle in the window.

I had one of those done once, wide awake. All came out good though. My best wishes for a good outcome...you'll do great!

Sending good vibes.
Hope everything goes well. Hurry back here - that’s an order my dear CaliforniaPeggy

I send my most powerful, sincere, loving, and healing thoughts out to you. Big hugs my dear friend! ❤️

I hope all goes very well with you and the results are something benign and easily treated. Rest up!

Sending good vibes to you ALWAYS

But even if it is early stage cancer, they can probably go in with arthroscopic surgery and zap it. That procedure is not very invasive at all.

🍷[ or imbibeable of your choice]
To decades more of your photography fun!

🙌☮️🤞🤗

and sent airmail special delivery. I'm worried my friend.

I will be thinking of you and all the Farmer’s Market photos you post on Thursday. Your photography makes me happy. I am hoping for a quick recovery and the best outcome.

Hope the procedure is uneventful -you know what I mean--and the results unremarkable.

Wishing the best for you

All the best to you — sending so many good thoughts your way.

Best of the best to a lovely DUer.

Just last Friday we dined there, which made me think of you. As usual, a great dinner! You're next!

Adequate hydration and rest. TAKE CARE OF YOU!

Please take care of yourself.

I think you'll sail through the test itself. We are so lucky to live in this day and time. In the past, tests like this were rough, but now, those scopes are tiny and the anesthesia is a miracle. Before you know it, you'll wake up and ask when they are going to do the test.
Will be hoping and praying for a negative (or grade A+) test result. We'll hold down the Fort while you're away.

Sending best wishes that everything will go smoothly!

May it all go fast and easy with a good result.

May the news be good after the procedure.

All the best to you, Peggy!

I have had three of those. They are not so bad.

We’re here for you.

All the best Peg!

for a swift and successful procedure and recovery are on their way. And may the news be good.

... to you, Peggy. I hope it's benign.

And healing vibes for you Peggy. May the procedure go well and the outcome be benign.

I hope the lesion is a nothingburger.

I will post my admiration and best hopes for your health as the most important thing I can offer this day. Be well and uplifted, CaliforniaPeggy.

it makes any sense at all. If it doesn't, get a second opinion. Do everything the nurses tell you, as I think they may be running the hospital. Also, once when I woke up from surgery, I was high, chatty and happy, and wondering whether we were going to the party next. May you get some of whatever they gave me to put me out. It's gotta be totally legal, and it was excellent.

Love ya and wish for all the comfort and healing from this condition.
Please give us an update when you can...

My best to you!

You in my thoughts.

Hugs and best wishes. True.

all of my best to you, along with prayers for your good health.

I am sending you love and hugs. ❤️

in anticipation over the next week.

You'll do well and BE WELL because you're a fighter. It'll be a blip on your life's radar screen, nothing more.

You'll have a sore throat for a day or two, but you already know that. 😉

We're all pulling for you, so how can you lose?

Here's hoping the liason is something benign.

Wishing you good health.

We'll keep an eye on the forum while you're gone. ❤️

in good hands with the Professional Surgical Staff. We are here for you.
