It's been almost 24 hours since surgery and Beth is very sore, which is to be expected. She's been having some episodes where she has difficulty breathing, which isn't unusal when someone is in considerable pain and gets anxious and it might also be a side effect of the anesthesia. But as you can imagine, no matter what the reason, that's very scary for her. Thanks to everyone who has sent their well wishes via email - we will be copying them and getting them to her.

For those of you who asked for an address to send cards:

Beth Giovannucci - 12 Everett Street - Norfolk, MA 02056-1609
