Hi all, and thank you for your wonderful comments! One thing I would like to mention...my name is Antonina "Nina" :), not Kim. There used to be a kim whose information would come up on my profile. Is this still happening?? UGH! :) :)
Ok, I have a little update, but it won't be definite until Monday...My doc's ofc told me yesterday, that if I want to continue with the laproscopic surgery, I will have to wait until April, the proxy (procter?) surgeon that was supposed to come from Reno can't come until then. Or, bearing surgeon approval, I can go ahead on the 11th and have it done 'open'. If I can, this is the way I'll go because all of my personal arrangements (school, rides, etc...)have been made, and I am sooo ready! Wish me luck, and thanks again everyone! :)
