Glenda, Congrats from me as well!!! Your surgery time line was very similar to mine in May '05. There was no way I could have got on here as soon as you.
'what you don't see are that most of the posts are not from me. My sweet daughter-in-law and son are doing most of the postingl I can hardly put a sentence together yet. However, I will say, I am so glad it's over and I'm very gad I did it. I'm two weeks post surgery today! I'll be happy to answer specific questions should you have any you's like to ask.
