Hi Barb, I hope you are feeling better about surgery today. I know with me, one day I am strong....I am woman, hear me roar! And the next day I am anxious and weepy and not sure if I should do this. But my support group really helps, as do these great AMOS people on this site. We can do this!! We will love our new lives Barb! I can't wait to sit cross legged, run up and down the stairs, clip my own blasted toenails WITHOUT getting light headed! Besides, I am slowly dieing this way and am soooo tired of the pain in my hips and knees and lower back! I wish you a smooth surgery and a fast recovery so you can start your new life. I'll say a prayer for you and your surgeon and remember, you are NOT alone. HUGS! Carol Percel
