Carolyn sent me a message that she is at the hospital, they have a bed and the surgery is a "go".   Let's keep her in our thoughts and prayers while she has surgery and then during recovery.  She brings so much fun to IHD and I know she loves IHD as much as we love her.

I have heard that Carolyn came through the surgery well. She is in some pain but on some GOOD pain meds. I also heard Dougal is being watched by a policewoman. He messed on the station floor.

Thanks Bill!    I bet Carolyn's Mum is really missing Dougal.   My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with both Carolyn and her Mum while the recovery period begins.    :cuddle;
