Hooray! I (finally) have a new surgery date! My surgery will be on November 29, 8am, at Inova Fairfax hospital. Anyone who lives in the northern Virginia area is more than welcome to visit me in the hospital and make fun of me and stuff.

Good luck. As a big lurker, I know this is not the first surgery date. I will be worried about you 'til I hear you’re well. ---

[/delurk] Good Luck Opal! Honestly, I was just wondering about the surgery and whether you’d already had it. Wasn’t it originally supposed to be in September or am I jus mis-remembering (wouldn’t be the first time)? [lurk] Cricket
