pir8fan Tommy thank you for your prayers. She has a very strong heart and it is up for the surgery. She doesn't understand that her arteries are blocked. She is 75 years old. I wanted to be on here so much but I was at the hospital of course. If I could have just jumped on here I could've not smoked. I was so upset it didn't dawn on me that my son had his laptop with him maybe I could've. thanks for your friendship, it means a lot to me.
