Nikki - I am scheduled for the 1st, we are newbies together!! I am so excited, just can't wait!! I consider this my birthday present to myself, by B-day is 3/23, hope to be back on my feet and feeling good by then!! My insurance covered mine at 100% (I work in healthcare, my employer paid for this). I plan to keep an eye on this forum, there is so much great info here, and the people who have posts are very supportive -- I JUST CAN'T WAIT!!!

My doc has me on that tasty liquid diet this past week, I am so proud of myself for sticking to it, wasn't sure if I could do this, but I did it!

Thanks to everyone for helping us newbies!!

Patty,

Good luck, I'm sure you will do fine. I had my surgery on 2/23/04. I was a little more sore then I thought I would be but now I am doing goo.
