Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 228 | Shaylynn (MrsGrant) is having her surgery today. She went to the CCC in her area (Barret??) for a second opinion yesterday and they really liked them and they said they could get her in for her surgery today - so that's what they decided to do! So keep her in your thoughts today!
