Banders,

This is Francesca's husband. She has asked me to come on the board and give all of you an update.

She had her band removed on Monday. There was a bad infection, so it's a damn good thing they caught this problem when they did. She isn't doing so well right now. She's been in a lot of pain since Monday, but they've been giving her heavy doses of morphine. So, she's been in one of three states since the operation: #1: Lucid (but literally moaning from the pain), #2: Completely zoned-out on morphine (but with much less pain), or #3: Asleep (knocked-out, really) on the medication.

I just visited her during my lunch hour. She has been getting regular visits from me, the kids, and her friends -- but she probably is only aware about half the time.

I have to cut this short. She just wanted to give you guys an update.

Take Care,

Dave
