Nelie:

You will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. Surgery is always scary especially with having the nasal sedation. Ive had that done and it sure isnt fun, but it only lasts a few second then you are out. You are a brave woman who has already gone thru so much.

My fingers are crossed for you to finally heal properly. Has your doc suggested HBO to speed your healing? Do you know how soon you will be able to tell if the surgery worked? How long will you be in the hospital?

Please post as soon as you can. Best of luck tomorrow !!!!!
