Yes Rose...hang in there. There are so many new techniques and advances in this field and the doctors are so proficient taking caring of blockages in a safe and timely manner. Recovery is usually much quicker than most people expect.  Our prayers are with you. This waiting and not knowing what approach to take is so stressful. Now others are here for you to talk with and feel your concern.<br /><br />Jackie- how is that back today?  Did you suffer the whole cruise with your back?  Hope not.  Take care girlfriend.  Oh, how did Gucci do on her vacation? I bet she was thrilled to see the two of you when you picked her up at her pet resort.<br /><br />First day back at work is over- tomorrow is hump day already. I just love short weeks.  I did find out that one of my best employees is going on a job interview in Texas this weekend. I&#39;ve got my fingers crossed that it does not ban out. I will hate to lose him- he is so vital to the department and the team. Time will tell. People just don&#39;t seem to stay in one place anymore- not like me whohas become a lifer at my organization.  I must be old...oh yeah i am.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> The good thing about being the old fart in the dept is that I get to retire before they do. Yipeee&#33;<br /><br />Hope John G is okay.  Anyone hear anything yet? Glad that you checked in Cheryl and that things are going well.  Tonia, any news about your neice?  <br /><br />Have a good evening everyone...Gail
