Welcome Amanda nice to have you here. I am kind of new here as well. Have been around for sometime but the closer it get to my surgery the more I find myself needing everyone.

Congrats on the date and welcome to our little family. Sorry can't high five you on the Colts thing- I'm a Texans fan- a true one standing beside them despite the fact that they have REALLY been sucky lol. But still, welcome to the A-team and the class of April 2007!!!!

Welcome aboard Amanda!!! Glad to have you join the A-Team!!! Congrats on the surgery date! My date is just a few days before yours on the 25th. We are in for a wonderful journey as we join everyone on the losers side!!!! Cheers, Lisa

Hi Amanda Welcome to April and congrats on your surgery date, I know what a long road it can be to get to this point! I sure couldn't have done it without the OH forums for support and information either. See you on the losing side!! Inky
