Valerie.... you above all of us i think, have put up with so much from the insurance company and all..... i commend you for your patience because I would have gone nuts!!! I am so happy to finally see that you will have your surgery, its the best thing you will ever do for yourself and I cannot wait to see you on the other side! Somewhere in my mind i think "its an end to the Valerie saga" and then i think "Nope, now the real journey begins!!!!!!!!!!" and i just know that you will be fantastic in that transition from preop to postie!! I think you have researched more than anyone else in the group, and deserve it just as much!!! hugggggggggggs
