Hi Lynette and Melissa...wow...can you believe it? It's almost here! I leave tomorrow (Monday) to head to St. Louis. My central line will be installed Tuessday morning, then my surgery Wednesday. Melissa, I will be thinking of you probably going through very similar things at similar times as I. Lynette....I know you will be great going through your big day on Thursday. Let's all meet back here as soon as possible to compare notes! My prayers and good thoughts are with both of you strong women!!!

Best of luck girls! I am positive you'll all soon be very relieved and grateful to your fantastic surgeons.

Hope you had a safe trip and everything went okay.

Will be thinking of you tomorrow as I go in. I know we will be fine, as will Lynette on Thursday.

Will check in when all is over and we are back home safe and sound.

Best wishes.

Best of luck and looking to a straighter future!

Hi Lynette,

I don't post here often but I've been sporadically following your posts and those of other women in their 40's b/c your situations are similar to mine. (I'm 45 and I've got 2 boys, S curve, avoided surgery and now reconsidering). I actually logged on today b/c I remembered your surgery was 4/1 and I wanted to see how you were doing.

I wish you the best and remember all of us will be thinking of you....funny how a faceless person miles away can occupy your mind! I look forward to hearing about your great results and recovery. I'm sure you will be just fine.
