[EllenB]

Hi Hope,

Just letting you know we'll be holding all of you close as you head to Mayo Sunday 1/21 for tests Tuesday & surgery Wednesday. Safety in travel, excellent results in surgery, quick recovery.

Give the team our best, keep us posted and take care,

Ellen

Thanks for your good wishes! This board has been a tremendous support over the last months.

tk I hope Masen is doing well.

You all might be interested in a comment I had from a doc I was interviewing here. He is here (Canada) from the middle east doing a fellowship and has also trained in the US, so we got talking about health care in the two countries and I told him about our going to the Mayo. He smiled and said, "Oh, you want perfection!" Yes, or something darn close!!!!!

I'll try to post on Tues or Wed. Depends on time and computer access.

Hope, what a great sense of confidence that quote must have given you! I'm also encouraged that Eric is getting some movement back already - and am eager to hear the results of the tests he'll have done Tuesday. Find a computer & keep us posted!

Take care,

Ellen
