HI April Just take a DEEP BREATHE!! you will be ok. July will be here before you know it and you will wonder where the time has gone. Just do as you are suppose too and keep in touch with the man upstairs and remind him that if it is for you to have this surgery then to help you get through it as best as you can. Becky

WTG April. With all the tests the time kinda flies by. Good luck to ya.

I'm crosing my fingers so that everything goes well and on schedule for you!
