We seem to be connected. I *love* Tim Burton movies. I've been telling everyone I'm going to be Frankenstein for Halloween this year. A couple of years ago with the mds, it was Dracula.

I'm not unhappy about the two dates. I'll possibly be in the hospital only overnight each time. My surgeon says I will not have a trach either, just a breathing tube during the actual surgery. It will be hell to go for the second when I'm barely feeling a little better from the first though.

October's always been my favorite month. Our 28th wedding anniversary is Oct 11 and Oct 24 is two days before my 59th birthday. My husband, Michael, gives me a small gift (often silly or macabre) every day from our anniversary to my birthday since I love Halloween, too.
