I have been approved!

First let me say Hi! I guess I need to formally greet all of you. I am a mother of 4 extremely wonderful kids (all close to being grown) and a very happy wife. I have a wonderful DH. Very supportive of everything I do. We are best friends. We do almost everything together and actually enjoy it. I am normally a private person and do not share too much with others. I am one of those that does well listening and giving advice but not so good at sharing my issues.  Anyway, I am having this surgery and I am not telling anyone other than DH about it. I realize that is probably not the best decision and it is obvious I need someone but, the kids and Mom will worry too much, my friends, sisters, and brothers will either be too concerned or too judgmental. Either way they will all begin researching everything, form an opinion, and share it with me. I ain't ready for that. So, for the good of all I’m not telling anyone. Which brings me to you guys, I have been watching this message board and from what I see, you all seem like good people and a good source of information. With that said, here I am! I hope you don’t mind hearing from me ever once in a while.  Now back to my good news; I do not have a date yet but, I have heard from my insurance that I was approved.
