I'm having surgery on May 9th and scared out of my mind!!! Lately I'm worried about surviving the sugery. So I've worked myself up into a lather and I'm trying to organize family photos, preparing to leave video messages but it's making me soooo sad. The forum and other people I've talked to encourage patients to think positive and that our outcome(s) will be better. So I need to leave this pity party and put my big girl panties on starting right now!!! grin

I wish OCF had a live chat room.
