Game on May 7th

[clfhangr]

Ok folks it's game on. Monday May 7th, 6.30 AM I have open heart surgery to fix my aortic aneurysm and replace my mechanical valve that was put in in 2007. My surgeon says the record for recovery and getting out of the hospital is 4 days. I am going for 3. What a record to break. God Lord what is wrong with me. Please pray for my family while they have to wait during the surgery. That is always the hardest part. The surgery is taking place at St. V's in Billings Mt. Thanks everybody.
I am already on the family calendar so now it is just time for prayers. Thanks everybody I will be sending out an update as soon as I am out. Or I should say a family member will.
All you guys rock. All I can say is what a family to be part of.

Here is my previous post so I don't confuse everybody.

Hey Keith - We'll be here waiting for you. Take all the time you need in the hospital. This isn't a race to see how fast you can get home. It is a race to see how long we can live our lives without heart issues.

Thanks Steve, I will try to remember that. I have spent far too much time in hospitals not to race out the door.

Hey Keith,
You're in my thoughts and prayers until you're back home and well on your way to a full recovery.
God bless and Godspeed
Mary
