  • Confirmed surgery is tomorrow

    Hi everyone,

    Well I made it, I called the hospital and I go in tomorrow morning at 5:45am for my surgery. I can't wait to have it over with. Thanks so much for all the people on this forum as it is such a great help to know so many people who are going through the same things.

    I'll let everyone know how it went when I return home.

    Thanks,
