Thank you Yellow - that was very comforting. I've spent the last 10 days getting stuff caught up so I'll be ready for surgery and getting ready for Christmas. I decided that no matter what date is offered, I'm not going to have surgery between Thsnksgiving and Christmas. I love the Christmas season and while I don't get to go to many things because of pain, I do get to do some and those I really enjoy! I've had a good week (yeah) so I'm going to take a shot at singing the Christmas Cantata at church. It's on Dec 11th and I'll have to make it to 4 practices to be able to do it. It would be great though! So I'm praying for a surgery date after 12/25 and making plans to do some fun things in between! Amen!
