CL, I opened this video when I was scheduling surgery. Thank you.

I view my upcoming surgery as an opportunity. There are many patients that continue to live in pain without the opportunity I have been given.

We are truly blessed.

This meant more than you will ever know. I'm usually pretty upbeat, but when faced with bad days filled with pain and illness, and watching dear friends battling life threatening diseases, it is easier to slide down than up.

Every day that starts turning into a pity party will be changed by watching this video.

Thank you so very much.
