JENNIFER,

Good luck on the 23rd, my prayers will be with you.

I didn't have the good fortune of having found this group before my surgery. As you already know the support here is overwhelming. We really want to know how you are doing after the surgery.

Having just gone through this last month, I can tell you that for the first 10 days I didn't even want to go to the computer and for several days after, I only spent a short time checking emails each day. So it would be great if you could introduce a friend or relative to the site, so that they can keep us updated for you.

The waiting end of this is terrible. But, before you know it, the 23rd will be here. You have done everything you can and now it is up to the surgeon do his/her thing.

Good luck and beore you know it, you'll be on the mend.

Jerry
