I left last Thurs. for the CQI retreat in Estes Park, Colorado and returned home last night. I had a great time and it was fun meeting people who I have talked to and read their blogs but never met. Some I had met at Omaha but a lot were new. We ate, slept and tried new things that other people knew and taught small classes. The old saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" certainly did not apply to me. I learned quite a few new things that I will put to good use when I get back to stitching. They were a greeat group of gals to spend time with.
This will be a short post. I did not mention it previously to anyone but today I am doing the colonoscopy prep as tomorrow I go in for colon surgery. On my colonoscopy about a month or so ago they found a flat polyp that was labelled Hi Grade Displasia but I have been assured not cancer. The problem is if I did not have it surgically removed it could become cancer so at 6 am tomorrow morning we trot off to the hospital for surgery to remove a piece of my colon at 7.30.
The hospital stay should be about 3-5 days - hopefully 3.
I will post again as soon as possible. Hugs FredaB

Freda, I will be thinking of you. My MIL had that same procedure for the same reason and she is just fine now. I know you will be too. Mom loved her brooch you sent and I adore my needle case. Hugs and well wishes for a speedy recovery.
