Judy, sweetie, I am so excited for you!!! You have been so much more trying and patient than I would have been if I would have had to go through what you have. You are an inspiration to anyone who is trying or has ever tried to get this surgery. I think you are a wonderful person and you deserve this if anyone does. I know that you have posted on the Texas board that your afraid your surgery is going to have be pushed back to February (Uggggggg more patiently waiting), but I just wanted to let you know I love you, hon, and am so glad you are my friend. I will keep you and your surgical team in my prayers for an uneventful trip to the losing side and a quick recovery to begin your wonderful new journey. Lots of love and prayers, Donna F :-)
