I'm approved!!
 Congrats on your approval.  Wow, it is a good feeling isn't it?  For me, it was like a ton of bricks had been lifted off my shoulders.  And I am so glad you have a date as well.  I remember how nice it felt when I got my approval, but I had to wait about 3 weeks before I got my date.  I wish I could tell you how it went.... but my surgery is scheduled for Tomorrow (December 14, 2004).  I wish you a very sucessful surgery and recovery ahead.  God Bless!   -Brian Ciavarella
