i hope she isn't scared being in a strange place surrounded by strangers. i am sure many thoughts will be running through her head about the procedure, be it real or imagined. even though she's older, she may still have the fears of a child. how i wish i was there to comfort her but since i'm not, i have to try and do the best that i can. i hope she isn't in too much pain right now even though i know the pain will only be temporary. i will gladly live with a lifetime of pain and misery if i am able to make all of her pains go away. i can't help but to worry about her. i cant stop missing her. please hurry back home safely to your family and me...
