Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 , I did the same thing when I went to Durham except for going to the hospital. It is always good to know ahead of time. Now when I come to actually have my surgery I will not be driving around stressing out. Good luck to you!!!! With Love, Lara M.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 Hi , You must have been a boyscout, hehe, you know be prepared. I am sure you prevented a problem though, at least now you are in the system. When is your surgery? I will be at the clinic in the afternoon, so hopefully we will meet.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2000 Report Share Posted August 25, 2000 I am hoping for a surgey date of 9/4 or 9/11. I have to have surgery on Monday so I can go back to go to work on Sat. I can't schedule it before because I have noone to go with me. My girlfriend who will be with me during surgery will be out of town until 9/3 so I have to wait on her to come back. Are you having your surgery on the 30th?
