My original surgery date was January 8, 2003, however, on December 31, 2002, I received a call at work from Dr. Huse's secretary stating she had to move my surgery to Thursday, January 2, 2003. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. I had planned on having a little time to get everything at work squared away, but that just did not happen. I had my surgery and was in the hospital 5 days. I have been home a week tomorrow and am doing great! I thank God and Dr. Huse for giving me a new life. Kathy
