I was so hopeful when this all began. The military uses a number system. Mine is 304 so naturally when I saw that they were on 291, I was ecstatic. Yeah, well, that was over a month ago and it is still at 291. Unless there is a miraculous jump over night, I can see this is going to take a long time before I'll see surgery.

December 8th! *sigh*... Oh well. All in good time I guess. I'll call on Monday for my other appointments. I am thinking that my surgery probably won't be until Feb-May of 2010...

Please God, let my surgeon be a nice guy besides being a great doctor?
