Hi ALL!! A little quirk in the surgery date, seems the woman who was scheduled on 7/31 finally got her approval and that bumped me back to 8/1/02. It's ok, what's one more day? I am so excited, my mother will be here from AZ to help me. She arrives on my birthday...3 days before my new birthday!!! I am waiting for my insurance approval...Oxford has it as "pending", this is my last hurdle, I'm crossing my fingers. Much love and prayers out to everyone who has emailed me the last few days and for those who are going in this week. Thank you for all of your support, it's beeen wonderful and sooooo appreciated! :) JC
