Cheryl finally had her surgery at 5:45 last night!! What a long day of waiting for her. Her husband was so nice to keep me posted all day and called at 8:00 last night and she was out. Everything went fine! And she is now on the losing bench with the rest of us!!!

Hey Jen, You go girl!!! Reading your post gives me courage. I am going on the 28th. Yikes!!!! Don't be afraid to take the pain meds and keep walking as much as possible. Hugs, Trish

Hi Jan and everyone else, My date is also the 24th. I am very excited and I am sure that this is the right option for me. I am also nervous. My biggest fear is the unknown and the pain. I just pray for the strength and courage for myself and all of us. We can do it and we will be great when all is said and done. My pre-op was today, 3 hours in the hospital ugh! Everything is pretty much all set. Ionly have to do a liquid diet for 24 hours before the surgery. I feel for you folks that have to do 7-10 days. God Bless. Kerry

Jen, Thanks soooo much for the update. I am glad that you are feeling so well. I went for pre-op testing today and have been feeling a little nervous about the post-op pain. I guess I can take a deep breath and get through it. I look forward to your next post. Kerry

lol..I had that fantasy of going right back to work,too-but I think I'll stay off my whole time,too(only 3 weeks,anyway).
