Positive vibes for the QB

I'm a lucky person in many, many ways. Besides having a wonderful, caring, loving husband and the two greatest children, I've got the best group of friends in the world. 5 of us met in Cairo, Egypt and dubbed ourselves "The Queens", partly because one of the Queens had a birthday party for her two girls and she got us plastic tiaras to wear, but mostly because, frankly, we are Queens.

One of the Queens (the esteemed QB) is having hip surgery today. She's probably the most determined person I know - she climbed Mt. Kiliminjaro because she wanted to. She's a real inspiration to the rest of us. She began a running regimen after Christmas to train for a 1/2 marathon held locally in late spring. Within a month or so, she was running up to 10 miles a day. Long story short, she twisted her ankle while training and also suffered a left hip fracture, which is being surgically repaired today.

So here's a shout out to you QB! Wishing you a safe and "E" factor free surgery, and a quick and painless recovery....inshallah....

Update: The Queen has been summarily discharged from the hospital and is out tooling around obtaining her prescription meds (you'll let me know if you get any medical marijuana, right?) The surgery went well....hamdulilah...and there are no "E" factors to report. Hopefully she'll stop by and give us the lowdown on getting screwed (twice) while under general anesthesia.
