Thank you! My mind is racing right now.. I am getting nervous why? Well I hate doctors for one thing and I am just scared. Silly! Its just a consultation but I know this is something that I need for my health its plain and simple.. Thanks for the info. I will have it on hand, I hope I don't blank out, I tend to do the um, um when i get nervous! Especially when I am in front of a doctor. I know Cornell has great doctors, since that is where I go for everything.. I had my son there back in '04, fibriod removal '07 so I am confident that I have picked a great surgeon but I am still scared. Sorry for all the blah blah! I will go now!  Thanks for your feedback!
