just wanted to let you all know that tomorrow I go to the hospital for the tooth extraction.

I will be gone all day, and likely admitted overnight due to the general anesthesia.

I started taking Neurotin today for the "pins and needles" and it seems to be helping a little. We'll see.

I have almost firmly decided on NY after several conversations with the RO there.

She is great, and I feel really good about her, so I figure why not..?

Now, I'm working on housing there...that's gonna be as tough as fighting cancer :-P

I'll post my final decision after I recover from the oral surgery.

Hugs and love to all...
