Surgery in 8 days

thanks for the well wishes.  i'd heard that too, about the order of the surgeries, and i can understand why it's done that way.

I'm hanging in there.  Had a major emotional set back this afternoon though.  My loan checks STILL haven't arrived.  I'm hoping the office will hang in there with me and won't cancel because the company claims they will have them ready by tomorrow morning.  I will absolutely be devastated at this point if there is anything else that happens.  I'm not sure that I would be able to afford the additional costs of postponing.  YIKES!!
