I've got a date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a call today from my daughter. The surgeons office called her because they couldn't reach me at home as I was out visitng a friend. She told me the insurance had approved me and that I needed to call the surgeons office right away to set up a surgery date. When I hung up from my daughter I sat down and cried. Then I got a grip and called Dr. Brown's office. Andrea set me up with Dec 29th to do all my pre-op stuff and sign in at the hospital. and then my surgery date is January 3rd!!!!! I truly did not believe this time would be any different than all the others. I've gone through this process so many times. But I am beginning to believe this might actually happen for me.
