Had a cold so I could not have surgery on Nov 6...I have it on Nov 20 now that is in 4 days..They told me they will not do surgery on anyone who has any sign of a cold..My emotions has been running wild..My husband will have his surgery on Dec 11... I trust that God will take care of us ..and that we are doing the right thing..This site has help me so much..I have spent hours reading everything and about everyone..still not done yet..I'm sure it will be a great help to me after surgery also..So thanks to everyone and keep us in your prayers..
