Kim,
I can only imagine the anticipation and the gammit of emotions you must be going through. But I also know that you would not be human if you didn't have fears or reservations.
I will be praying for you and I know that God will be right there with you, all the time! I pray that the hands of the surgeon are as skillful as ever and that you have a speedy recovery.
I wish that I had others words of comfort for you, but know that there are others of us out here that are praying for you!
God speed and love,
