I have a date........sept 30, original surgery was sept 28, last year.......just about same time........so we are going through the anxiety thing again, just because......I have a teddy bear, that has traveled back and forth with me each time for surgery, he`s even a little bloody now, if he don`t go, I don`t go.......if you don`t hang on to your sense of humor it gets rough..........I keep taking pictures of myself, and my wife keeps telling me I look like a praying mantis..........hang in there :p
