Hey, Jennifer and John,
The time for your surgeries is getting close, and here's hoping that you both do well, and have easy recoveries. I read y'all's homepage today, and agree with you wholeheartedly about Dr Trahan and the staff at UTMB. (Of course, I'm a little prejudiced because I've worked at UTMB some 30+ years.) But the orthopod you saw needs some serious "dressing down".
I had my last nutritionist appt today, so all I have to do is get my house clean (yeah, right), stock up on some good foods, make arrangements for the animals, work a little, worry a lot---before my surgery on the 11th.
Hoping that we can meet, maybe, at one of the support groups later.
I'll be thinking of you both on the 3rd--
Melody
