Hi Charm...first, I agree with you...10 days sure does seem long. I know you can do it:)

I love to play puzzle games. My fiancee bought me a Nintendo DS with a game I love called Cradle of Rome. It's a game that you match 3 of a kind (not cards, same kind of tile) then they fall and you have to clear the board. That kept me and keeps me very busy. I would HIGHLY suggest this. The battery lasts a LONG time and it is small, light and easy to carry and use.

If you have a laptop I think that is good too. Everyone is different and your doctor may think you can't but you can surprise them. I work in customer service and I NEVER say I can't do something. Who care what we can't do..it's what you can do.

I'm sure we will chat before you go in but if not...GOOD LUCK!! I cannot wait to hear how it all went. I will be thinking of you and wishing nothing but good things for you. Will you let us know what time your surgery is for? My guess is you won't find out until Tuesday.
