Hi Joanne. I want to wish you the best on Friday. I have been following your post and upcoming surgery and I can't believe your date is here already. I live in Rhode Island too, so natually I feel closer to you and others on this site. I have a surgery date with Dr. Roye on March 4th and I can't wait to have you home next week and that everything is "Wonderful". I like your list of things to do this summer and with your new life. I share in your list alot. Who Knows, perhaps we can experience them together. Again, good luck Joanne. Jan B (Janet Brier)
