She'll be fine. Pre-planned procedure, nodules removed, no disease remains, no further treatment.

And the first thing I see is “breaking news” and her picture. I can’t even tell you how sick I felt immediately. May she live another couple of decades in health! 😰

It’s strictly for RBG. Doesn’t hurt to
drop a compassionate thought or two. Just in case.

But each to his own.

which she is never going to know about anyways and why pretend she will. Is it really about making her feel better or making you feel like you are accomplishing something?

If you don’t believe in well-wishing, etc., why even post a comment in the thread at all? Except to make your personal statement about how you feel about such things.

DU has threads like this often, and they’re not meant to be magical, they’re simply for acknowledging the work of a good person within the context of a communal concern, and to express an honest hope, that’s all.

Peace.

I will condense my story. Stress at work= chest pain= heart cath (which was fine) but my cardiologist thought my aorta looked a little strange= chest CT= breast biopsy=cancer. So when people ask how I found my cancer, I tell them my cardiologist found it.

This sounds promising for Justice Ginsburg. I rarely pray but I will for her.
