Marsha Surgery

Hey gang,

As many of you know, Marsha has been very sick over the past 4 months. She's had trouble eating, pain after she eats, and abdominal pain that goes into her back and ribs. Marsha has lost over 30 pounds during this time. After many tests and trials (medications, etc.), we have finally received a diagnosis.

It was discovered that a rare condition named "paraduodenal hernia". He said that all of Marsha's symptoms match the diagnosis including the fact that she knew the exact date her symptoms started. This will be major abdominal surgery to repair it.

Surgery is scheduled for Monday, August 25 at 2:15pm at Harris Methodist Fort Worth. Surgery time is estimated at 2-3 hours (not firm). She will probably not be in a hospital room until after 7pm. She will be in the hospital for approximately 2-3 days. She will be off work for 6 weeks.
