Hi Mandy. Thanks for the update. It sounds like you will be well looked after. You must be somewhat overwhelmed by all this but at least the plan is in place and you will get your operation at last. We have all been thinking about you and hopefully you'll be able to talk to us once you're out of ICU. Keeping you in my thoughts till then.
