Autumn, take a deep breath my dear! Everything will work out. With all the testing they do prior to having surgery, the surgeon wouldn't accept you as a surgical candidate if he didn't think you would make it through the surgery AND have great outcomes post-op.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery. Positive thoughts coming your way for the 16th. Lord only knows that insurance was my biggest difficulty for getting surgery done as well. Best Wishes!!

Thanks Donna for all your help! I look forward to chatting with you more!
