I'm having surgery at the end of the month. I've had to wait 2 years for my surgery date and now that it's here I'm nervous, scared but very anxious. I'm glad that there are other people out there who have gone through this. I hope to come back to this forum over and over again for support, ideas and strength.

Thank You
