Looking for a mentor NC

I've heard good things about them! Do you have an idea of when you might have your surgery?

I'm hoping the last week in June. I could go earlier but that is when I have the time off work. I should hear by next week if insurance approved me!

I got my date! June 26!

Maybe we can walk together sometime. It's not so bad after surgery. Just listen to your doctor. Who is your surgeon?
