Mom9,

It sounds like they will get it right this time. Who told you that 10% thing?

I believe you will be fine and I hope you take the best care of yourself
mentally and physically before the surgery.

You will be in my prayers. I need to learn that skill. : - )

Pamela it was the surgen that op. on me in jan. and feb.april,june,and oct.It is not that I only have 10% chance on this surgery.In feb. the surgen had to go back in to remove 1/2 of my small bowel because it was full of little holes and fecal matter lecked in to my abdominal cavity.I have seen this on the medical chanal and that is exactaly what thay said on the show.This kind of injury only has a 10 % survival rate because of infection(I had alot of those)The man on t.v. died.I know that I will be O.K. God and my twin sister sent me back the first part of the year.I know that I belong here.I am just so very happy to have everyones prayers and I want to thank everyone in advance.Debbie
