Kristen, you know that I am behind you 100% as you start your journey. I will gladly be your angel, and will help you with anything I can. In the meantime, stay as sweet and upbeat as you are. Keeping a good attitude is half the battle with the whole surgery thing. The better your attitude, the quicker and easier your recovery. You're a great person, and I'm sure that this surgery will be the first step toward many great things in your life. OK, now I'm writing a novel!! Anyway, best of luck on your journey, and if you need anything at all, you know where I am! Carol
