Hello - Good luck on your surgery this morning. I'm sure

everything is going to go smoothly and you'll be relieved to have all

of this behind you.[i have yet to get my braces on - hopefully

that'll happen in mid-July.] You'll be fine & everything will be

alright, so don't worry, okay? I'll be sending you lots of positive

vibes and thoughts. Take Care!! ////Diane
