Hi Everyone! I am preparing to leave shortly to travel to Durham, NC where I am having my surgery tomorrow. My family is staying there overnight. I am doing just fine today and looking forward to beginning my new life. I just want to let you know how much I have enjoyed my time here on the forum leading up to the surgery and thank you for welcoming me here with open arms and hearts. I have learned so much -- as a matter of fact, you all have shared so much knowledge and compassion that I have come to this point without fear and hesitation. I will have computer access at the hotel this evening and will probably take advantage of it so that I fill my time so that I don't go crazy!! ha! Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know tomorrow is finally by RE-BIRTHDAY and I am looking forward to finally becoming a loser!!!
