Thanks for the good wishes from everyone. Family and friends, along with those here at OCF, have been providing me with great support and encouragement and I'm not going to let this ruin even one minute of my time before surgery. I may have a day or two of feeling a bit sorry for myself when I wake up post surgery, but I'm sure I won't be allowed to laugh anyway! I got your message Liza but I was out with friends so I couldn't return your call. Thanks again everyone.
