Hi Laurie, I have just been there done that. I felt worse because

when I was doing all the stuff you are doing right now, I couldn't

sleep, was irratable, felt so tired I thought I would die before I

finished this thing.

Now that I have been approved by insurance and sent in my

packet I feel a sense of relief and am sleeping better and feeling

much more positive. I feel sorry for all of you reading my posts for

the last couple of months it seems like all I did was complain. Just

think of my poor husband and all he's been through. I am trying to be

real nice to him now. I also was a little scared because I have never

had any surgery, but now I feel ready and calm about the

surgery,Thanks you all you post-ops for telling your experiences,

it really helps. Of course not everyone has it so easy, speaking of

that has anyone heard from Kandy since she got home? We have been

praying for her and want to know how she is doing. I am hoping for

the same day as you if not before.

So hang in there Laurie you will feel better soon.

Love To All
