I DID IT!!!
I did it! The surgery was Friday. According to Dr. Rawlins everything went perfectly, and I should be home by Monday afternoon. I am up and walking. And, they even gave me some Jello for dinner.
My aunt sent me flowers and a card to the hotel room. It said "Happy Birthday to the new You!" (That one made me cry).
Thank you all for the messages you have been posting. They have meant a lot to me. My DH posted this for me while I am still in the hospital. I'll be able to give full details when I get home.
