Michele, this next week is probably going to be a roller-coaster ride for you emotionally, and that's pretty natural. Just hang on, because the ride you're about to take is soooo worth all the waiting, anxiety and nervousness. Your life is about to begin again!! I had surgery w/Dr. Coirin, who trained with Dr. Coates, so you're in very capable hands. Best of luck and I'll be thinking of you.
