Hi Linda, Your day will be here before you know it. I missed the Yale group last Tuesday, because my 2.5 follow up w/ Dr Bell was that morning. Two trips would have been too much. I will attend the Ocean Beach NL group this Thursday, 10/15. It will be much closer, although I will try to get to Yale's group when I can. I am so excited for you, this surgery is so amazing! It really is a life-saving tool. It has given me my life back, so to speak. (energy!!!) I can't wait to hear how you will do too. It won't be long, now. Take care,
