Hi, Carol: I just wanted to wish you the best of luck on getting your surgery date: hopefully it will be very soon and you'll be on your way to feeling better.
I have a co-worker who has MS, and she hasn't had surgery yet; she's just waiting on a date since she's been approved. We are hoping to have it the same day. Mine is scheduled for August 19th. Her name is Rhonda Metzler, and the link to her profile is:
