    My family doesn't know I'm having surgery!

    In a way I guess you might say you are giving them a surprize. It's no wrong or right it's what you want that counts. I did not tell my family other then my daughter & one son. The rest well they know now. Good luck and so you know I am happy I had my surgery. Hugs, Angie
