Malka, are you listening? I hope you are getting some of the info that you were needing. I am learning a lot, even though my surgery would be somewhat different. For you, it would be the same (though far less than Hacklene's!)

Hacklene, you must be quite a trooper! Thanks for sharing your story! XO
