Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Hello and Welcome back, I'm really exciting about being able to talk to people and see how they feel. I've told my sister, my mother in law and my kids (18,15,11 & 8) and my husband know that I'm in the que for the surgery. I really don't want to tell my mom (my sister may have already told her) and my best girl friend in Virginia. I'm not even sure I'll tell my sister until I've had the surgery. I don't want them to try to talk me out of it. I know thins is what I want to do and I know it's good for me. Diane Duenas wrote: Hi and Welcome!!
