no, but should hear by Dec. 3... I'm content to wait til Jan. --- I'll be so busy with Christmas now, I won't have time to think about it! AND... I'm checking out another surgical team in town... so that will give me time to do that too. (They are more experienced in this surgery)...

2008 will be "my" year!

This just seems so unreal. I posted here first before I told anyone. Well my entire office knew because I did a little dance in front of everyone. The second person I told get this my ex husbands wife. LOL She has been very supportive about doing this. She took the plunge this summer and is doing really well.
