Hi everyone. I have been lurking for months reading posts and learing as much as I can. I finally feel as if I can come out of lurkdom because today I got the call. I have been approved!!! And it is only three weeks away.
Reading all of your posts has been so informative. I am so happy to have found OH, otherwise I don't think I could have gone through this surgery.
Thanks so much.

Hi Lisa,

Welcome out of lurkdom, and now that you've come out to introduce yourself. please come back often and post your progress and the wow moments that will be a part of your journey! As you know already there are lots of people ready and willing to lend support and offer encouragement along the road.

Wishing you good health and better living, Laureen

Thank you all so much! I feel like I'm as light as air, lol. I will probably panic closer to the date and forget everything I learned and come asking you all silly questions. But, really, even though I have just been lurking, I feel like I am part of the family. It makes me feel so much better.

Lisa,

Be it lurking or posting, you ARE part of this family. And I think we all went through at some point some moments of "OMG what the heck is this" even though somewhere along the way we may have heard it before. It's still always comforting to know somebody will always have the answer.

Oh, August 7 is a great day, by the way - it's my grandfather's bday and this year he is turning 80!! So you will be on a lucky day!!

Congrats - it's right around the corner now!

I second what Laureen said - now that you've "come out of hiding"
