December can't get here too soon
Julie - I live in Chicago and saw your message. I know how you feel to wait for the surgery. I waited since Feb 2003 for my date in August 27, 2003. The time drags by at first. But as the days go by it will be here sooner than you think. Just keep busy. It seems it far away, but it is actually around the coorner. Just remember to get the items you will need after surgery in the house prior to your date, check out the different protien drinks. Check out GNC they have sample packages you can purchase of different flavors. I already have one shelf in the kitchen with things I will be using after surgery.
take care and ((24/7)) mary
