My mom is now out of the hospital and it seems that the procedure went well....She told me that she'll need some recovery time.....My father said that the first night they needed to give her pain medication....I haven't heard from my ex-friend....For about the last 3 days I keep getting calls that someone hangs up just after my machine starts it's message or the whole message plays and then the hang up......I'm wondering if it's my ex-friend who has done this in the past.....This better not keep on or I will report it to the phone company.....I am not letting this drive me nuts!!!! ...KEEPING THE PEACE
