Hi Tammy,

December 8th is a great day for AN surgery!  I had my neuroma removed on the same date one year ago.  I trust you'll go into this with a trusting and relaxed attitude.  All the homework is done, you've prepped to the nth degree, and your support networks are in place.  Now it is the turn of the medical staff to shine.  Once you wake up, your positive attitude will kick in and the healing begins.  Before you know it, your normal daily routines will be routine again. 

I wish you the best with all your AN related issues, and I know you'll do as well in your recovery as I have. 

Cheers!

Anyone have an update on Tamster's surgery?  I just checked her blog and no updates other than (I presume) her husband Jim posting just as Tamster went into surgery.  Nothing since.  I suspect that things went well, but I always like hearing.

Thanks!
