Wishing Calie the best of luck for the operation on Monday... Hugs to Calie!!

I would also go along to the hospital and not tell him. I can understand him asking for nobody to be there..Maybe deep down, he really wants loved ones at the hospital?

Peace, Love and Lights..

If it was me wild horses couldn't keep me away. I'm sure Sharon needs the support too. Just be there and don't tell anyone. I mean for real he's your brother and you love him.He will be in my prayers. I will be asking for a miracle if needed. Like I've said before I have had prayers answered. I'm just real careful about what I pray for. I am hoping for a recovery within reason. I can tell you're not ready to say bye........ duhhh drake ....... So as Bistro says he doesn't have permission to go anywhere. We're selfish that way and that's just the way it is........As for those lap dances........... :p We love you Y'Vonne.

What would I do?

If it was my brother I'd get a nice visit in before the surgery, but ultimately I would respect his wishes. We have so little control over anything in life. If my brother would rather be alone, I would respect his wishes. Personally, I'd rather have people there with me, but the surgery isn't about me.

Then throughout the surgery I wouldn't worry and hope for the best. When he was done with the surgery and in recovery, I'd go see him.

Praying hard for him, you and his family..
I would go and just not let on, let his dr. know you don't want him to know you're there..
just in case, it would be far better than a phone call.

Wish I had done that when it was my brother....
be there for him, his family and you...

Joining in with the thoughts 4 ur brother's operation ... and... a few 4 U also.....

In this case I'd ignore your brother's wishes without telling him that you are going to ignore them.

Unless you have that kind of relationship with him.

Being there in the hospital is not really for the patient, it is for the family, friends, and other loved ones. Be there for you, your sister, his wife, everybody who loves him.

And please know that we will be with you in spirit. So when things feel bad just think of us:

Bistro doing a lap dance,
Archtype (remember her?) sitting on the fence,
Repo and stevie sitting in low cut lawn chairs drinking pepsi and eating popcorn,
The bus on auto pilot running around fetching us to come be with you,
Winny serving toenail pie to all interested parties,
And all of us doing the good karma mojo dance under a full moon.

Titanium reinforced pepper hugs to you and yours

Girl my prayers are with your brother ((()))

I'd do what I had to do to cope with it. You may go and need to leave. I mean, if this is good-bye, prepare for that. But, if for some reason, you feel better at the hospital, I'd go if it were me. Shit, I'm so weird, I'd probably stay there for a week.

Whatever you need to do to cope.

Sending every last bit of positive energy i have...

*bump*
