Oh, Melissa, I am so excited for you. You sound like you've got the right attitude to do so well. You GO GIRL!! Prayers and positive thoughts all day Monday for you. Janet
Also I think I talked to the anesthesiologist about some of the phrases from the Huddleston book. I wrote them down and gave it to her. I was not pushy about it at all. Just said if it was possible. She seemed OK with it. Wouldn't have a clue if she did or not. It was just sort of comforting along with other thoughts for you to remember as you go in.Janet
