Hi Linda, Sounds like you need a few encouraging words. It is truly difficult waiting during the pre-op process. Staying busy and not forgetting to take care of yourself is what helped me the most. Also, giving back to others, and you've certainly got that covered and more. Hang in there, girl. You will make it. I will be praying for you 'cause I know we all need that to get through everything. Your date will be here before you know it. Take care.
