Hi,this is Noni, testing! Thank you guys for keeping Stretch busy so he has been leaving me alone for the last few months. But in honesty, y'all have been a source of encouragement to him. After the surgery I imagine he will continue logging in to the site to encourage other people.
Thank you and I'll keep y'all updated as long as Stretch is not able to type. Don't expect me to be a comedian he is, however, I'm more of a straight shooter!
I can't imagine Stretch being gone for too long. I know he'll be chomping at the bit to tell us his story - an we look forward to his description of all the goings on.
Thanks so much for filling in for him and doing a test run. We do wait anxiously to hear the news of our members who are having surgery.
Praying for all the best for both of you. I know it will be a successful procedure.
Hi Noni. Thank you for the trial run as we'll be anxious to hear about his experience. As you can see, there are many of us out here hooting and hollering for him. He'll do well...we're sure of it!!
I don't know if he got my PM (private message) but I had a lovely talk with Evelyn on Thursday as you were in transit. I just wanted him to know that I did.
Hope you have a pleasant weekend.
Best wishes. Will be thinking of you both on Monday.

You and Stretch will be in my prayers and thoughts on his big day. I wish you strength and peace as you wait for the surgeon to come out and tell you that everything went just as Stretch expected it to go.
Bob, I received the envelope and laffed my butt off as I read it. AWESOME! I'm going to keep the contents confidential for now... the valvers-to-be will be the envy of the veterans due to this mystical knowledge that will be passed down along with The Shirt.
Marguerite, I did get your PM... I tried to reply from my Treo handheld to no avail, and we don't have internet in the apt across from the hospital. Thanks so much for calling my mom... I think she's good to go. Thank you also for your words to me about letting her process all this as she needs to... very wise.
Dr. Stelzer said he anticipates the first cut at 8a Monday.
Nice to meet you Noni!!!! You all have thought of everything. I hope you have a bit of fun before the surgery - and a strong uneventful recovery after. We will all be thinking of you both!!!
