  • Tomorrows the Day!!

    Go in tomorrow morning for my surgery. I just want to thank everyone on this forum for all the sharing they have done. I feel like I am well informed and that there will be little, if any surprises.

    Hopefully I can remain as positive and upbeat as the rest of you courageous people during the coming recovery period.

    Will be back to share as soon as possible.

    Thanks again,
    Carol
