Welcome to the board Vicki! I know I was happy to finally have "that" date as well. It's so nice to be able to talk with others who are going through the same thing at the same time. That way we always have support.

Welcome to the board and congrats on your date. Dec 13th is my birthday, I kind of wi**** was my surgery date too, but the 19th worked better for my family's schedule.
Good luck!
