Guest guest Posted July 4, 2000 Report Share Posted July 4, 2000 , Thanks soooo much for the advice. I'm excited about the surgery but have really been worried about the post op after care and my job, as they are not real understanding about personal problems as they call them. My surgery is the 26th and I am scheduled to go back Aug 7....So I need to get all my ducks in a row. If you see a post KAREN HELP, you'll know I'm going down for the third time.
