Question:
This is not a question.

I just wanted to say thank you to all the kind people that have taken the time to send encouraging messages to me about this surgery. My surgery is scheduled for Monday, 8/9, I went for all my pre-op tests today and everything is still a go. I still have times of extreme nervousness and worry but I go to this web site and read all the good stories to remind myself of why I am doing this. So please keep taking your time to answer peoples questions and to send encouragement - all of you - it makes a big difference. Thank you and keep me in your prayers on Monday morning.
