Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Steph, What a great idea to hit the spa the weekend before surgery to relax! I will be sure to plan that! My hospital has stated no finger nail polish on hands or toes. I am sure you will have a great time! Sorry to hear about your husband having surgery the day before yours. At least you have mom coming to help out. My mom will be arriving a few days after my surgery to help out and then to take the kids to Baton Rouge so I can get some R & R! So it should be a nice quiet summer...(haha) Anyway Best of Luck to you!! > > Hi Steph & , > > > > I just noticed that ya'lls surgery is only a little over a week > > away!! > > I know you must both be getting so excited!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Hey cool! I work in Warren, well, Center Line actually. I'll do that. Right now what I need is to stop worrying. I went for a manicure/pedicure today and cried all the way to the spa. I keep thinking that I'm doing the wrong thing and that I could get buy with out doing this surgery. (Who needs to have teeth that meet correctly and why is breathing so important anyway??) I'm sure I'll be fine it's just that I keep thinking I should back out now. If only I hadn't already paid my surgeon!
