Title: And the winner is...
Post by: eab on June 24, 2009, 03:07:41 pm

GK - I'm going in on Monday July 6 to get this thing zapped.

I will fess up that I did not believe all of the people who said that there is some relief in making a choice and setting a date, but I am now converted.  I feel much better than I did a week ago. Now that I can plan for it, work out the care for my kids and my own r&r, I feel like I have a little more control.

Many thanks for the posts, encouragement and information that helped me get to this decision.
Beth

Thanks to you both.  I'm going to have it done at Hoag (in Newport Beach, CA) by Dr. Chris Duma.  I do feel a little crazy for being excited to get it done, everything about this has been crazy so why stop now?!

Hi Beth,
I'm happy that you made a decision you are "excited" about. I felt the same way ;D.  July 6 is coming fast, that's great that you don't have to wait too long.

Best of Luck,
Lisa
