Candace, today is your day! Whoo hoo!! Wishing you all the best, and your last post summed before surgery summed it up - IT IS YOUR TURN. Dont' worry - we have plenty of room on the bench for such dedicated people like yourselves. Don't hesistate to ask any stupid, personal, or "ridiculous" questions because I can pretty much gurantee it has been asked here before, or someone else is thinking that exact same thing, or taught even those further out something they didn't know. Love you! and post on the pa forum when you get a chance!! Sip sip sip walk walk breathe breath breathe walk breathe sip and oh yea, rest, too!! you are gonna be changing before OUR eyes now! Hang on for the ride of your life girlfriend - you deserve it!! Pam
