Hi Cathy,
Just now reading this thread. A very belated Welcome ;)
Your surgery will be here before you know it, just stay focused and busy.
How bout some holiday shopping/wrapping to add stress, I mean stay focused!
Also try to walk, exercise more, if you exercise. It's important to be in good physical shape. That will help greatly with your recovery.
It'll be OK. You go to sleep, you wake up. Your loved ones have the hard part of waiting.....
Hang tough,
Maureen

Hey, I'll be think powerful thoughts on the morning of December 11th that everything goes well for you from me to you from one Newbie to another.  This all happens so fast doesn't it?  It wonderful having your family with you...your favorite music is definitely calming and makes a difference.   Take deep breaths as you go in and think positive thoughts!!!
