Hi Dixie, I would love a visit from you when I am in the hospital and that is such a nice offer. Thank you so much. You have been such a great support and resource person to me on here. You have put my mind at ease and helped with all the questions I have had along the way so far. I am sure I will have more and look forward to learning even more. Thanks so much Dixie, you are great. *hugs* Melissa p.s. I was just about to email you and tell you the news. : )

YEAH for you! jean

This is great. I'm glad to here of your insurance approval. Good luck in your new journey.

Glad to hear that the insurance has approved your surgery! It is a wonderful ride. I am just a week and a day out and wondering why I have not done this sooner for myself and my life. You will do great. Keep us posted on your journey and you will be on the losing side of things soon.

Congratulations !!! The waiting is the worst I agree. Well we are pretty close to each other Melissa. I just live in Garner, but grew up around Northwood. Over by Carpenter. I had my surgery on August 15th. Every day gets better. I wish you all the best and hope you have no complications. Good luck to you. Deb

Thanks everyone! You guys are the most supportive group of people and I am so lucky to a place like this to share experiences with other people in the same shoes. How wonderful. I look forward to my ride ahead. Thanks again, I will keep you posted on my progress. Looks like some more PAT and then it should be a go soon. Hoping surgery will be late november early december at the latest. Fingers crossed! Melissa
