thanks everyone! I'm ready to get on with this, waiting is the worst! Surgery is set for 12:30, so nothing to eat in the morning, worst part for me is NO coffee

And per Murphy's Law, my younger daughter has State choral speech contest tomorrow night - the dates hadn't been set when we scheduled surgery. I'll miss it of course but did at least get to see her group perform at district; my dh and mom are going to tag team so he can leave me long enough to be there for the performance. It's at 5:30, so with luck I'll be home but seems like you're always at the hospital longer than you think you will be.

Your prayers are greatly appreciated. This just has to work!!
