HI Cindy, I am catching the posts late...I was reading you are from Atlantic Canada and that Br. Bethune is doing your surgery. I hope everything went well for you. I guess I have no advice for you since I am on that waiting list for surgery for Dr. Bethune as well. Unfortunately for me, I have only been on 6 months now so I guess I have a long road ahead of me yet. I am hoping you will be able to(when you are feeling better) share your experience with me since we have the same Doc. I will have a 6 hour drive after surgery so he said he would be keeping me a couple of days but I am curious to see how you make out. I wish you all the best....keep us posted.

Rachael
