Hey Susan,
Well, having surgery this Friday huh?? Good luck to you as you venture into a new way of life!! 13 has always been a very lucky number for me, so I will pass that luck on to you for now... do what the nurses tell you, take your pain medication as needed and walk every chance you get...these are major keys to getting over the soreness the quickest!! We will look forward to hearing from you once you come back home....
Love and Light,
