possible postponement - brother stabbed

I am so sorry. I hope that both continue to heal both mentally and physically. See how things go tomorrow and then maybe you can make a decision about your surgery. You will know what to do, go with your instincts. We are here for you.

Anyway, the problem is that I'm scheduled for my surgery on Tuesday and I don't know if I should go through with it. The docs are expecting him to be ok and possibly out by Tuesday but he's still on a ventilator so I don't know how they can be saying that. I guess I'll just play it by ear and cancel late tomorrow if I need to. thanks for listening.... :confuse:

In the hospital now and he's doing much better. They took out the breathing tube a minute ago and he's able to talk. I'm going in to see him but it sounds like the surgery will go on as planned. Thanks for the kinds words and prayers. oh, and the guy who did it turned himself in!

Sandra -

I will be thinking about you tomorrow and am sure things will go fine.

And yes its a nice (although that isn't quite the right word) addition to know the guy turned himself in and is off the streets.

I thank God that your brother is doing better and that the man who did it turned himself in. Now you try to take care of yourself and we all will be thinking of you tomorrow..Keep us posted on things go... Best Wishes and lots of HUGS

thanks everyone! Brother is doing much better so my surgery is on. And he will be coming to stay with me when he gets out! This should be interesting. I feel sorry for my poor husband and kids who will be taking care of us. lol
