Dear Melanie: Congradulations on making it to the other side!!! Now, all that you dreamed this surgery would do for you is beginning to happen just for you. My parents used to live in Napperville, IL. It's a beautiful little suburb. I hope you're getting the rest you need to recover and remember to walk===walk===walk. My surgery date is August 20th. Please keep us all informed of your progress and how you're coping. Sincerely, Lori Ann from MN.
