Hi, Rhonda: I just wanted to wish you the best of luck on your upcoming surgery and pray for an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery. As for staying sane and calm until your date: Just take one day at a time. Make sure you've got all your ducks in a row, have everything prepared for your return home, and thank God every day that you don't have to wait for August 19th like I do! LOL I found it gave me a great measure of peace to write letters to my daughter and husband letting them know how much I appreciate their support and how much I love them. I have also been praying to God for patience, and so far he's come through for me. I know there's nothing else I can do but wait my turn, so no sense in getting stressed over it. Good luck, and God Bless!
