good luck with your surgery, nate. the waiting is not easy. are you experiencing a lot of discomfort? i waited from april 26th til 24 may for my op. i past the time reading and watching my first english spring. may not be your thing but i found it amazingly beautiful. kept reminding myself to focus on what was happening to me right there in the moment and not focus on what might happen in the future. it was quite a surreal experience. I couldn't eat much except soup during the last few weeks...used to love it...but have only just started eating it again.
