I want to thank all of you for your thoughts, kind words and prayers. I'm going in for some pre-op testing today...Chest X-Ray, Blood Work and an EKG. I've got to admit, my surgeon is not taking any risks. However, I am getting extremely nervous about the procedure itself. Since I've never had any type of surgery in my life, I'm wondering about that more than anything else. As far as starting my new life as a "Loser", I absolutely love that term!!! Thanks you guys.
