Tammy - Here's wishing you the best of luck! Congratulations on your upcoming surgery date. I am waiting for Dr. Parvez to write his letter for ins. approval for me and the waiting is the worst! If you have any words of wisdom for me please e-mail me as I would like to correspond with you and get any tidbit info on who to contact with the Blue Cross/etc. so I might speed up the process. I know that you will have a lot of family support but I don't live far away and would not mind lending a hand, an ear, and a prayer! Carolyne
