Xangria,

Thanks for the thoughtfulness. I realized today that there is only one week until we leave for the surgery. So now my mind is occupied with what must be packed and errands and bills that need to be taken of before we leave a week from tomorrow. My oldest daughter came over and we discussed the plan for the day of surgery. All of a sudden I'm feeling very focused and realize there is not much time to do what needs to be done. So the lists that my husband was fretting over last week have now come in handy and I pulled the suitcase out this afternoon. Bought Christmas cards today that I will send from the hospital. I'm finally getting a grip and moving along. I think it has to do with now we are on schedule and that helps.

Thank you all. Sorry for being such a wimp for the last couple of weeks. I'm good. :-)
