and will try to get a firm date for my surgery. Hopefully, he will be able to answer some questions and see if he has a better idea of when it will happen.

I hope your MD decides to get this done sooner rather than later so you can enjoy the rest of the year feeling ever so much better. Let us know the results of your appointment when you have time.

Just got back a little while ago. The doctor is going to aim for the last week in August for the surgery. Failing that, he said maybe the 1st or 2nd week of September. I pleaded with him to get it done so that I can go to Cuba on Nov 24 for my son's wedding! He wants to dance with his Mama on his wedding day! Makes we weepy just writing it. So, let's hope for the best.

As much as I want to go to MOA, I want the maximum amount of recovery time possible, too! I always want everything my way, sometimes I have to let someone else have their way, I guess. Thanks for all your well wishes and support, ladies.

Oh Barb, I hope you get the earliest possible date for your surgery. Dancing at your son's wedding would be the greatest gift.

I hope all will work out for you. There will always be another MOA but your son's wedding is another story. When will you find out for sure?

I expect to get about 2 weeks notice, then I go for blood work and a pre-op check up by the doctor. So, anytime after the 15th of August, I'd guess.

if you get it in August I'm sure the girls will take turns puishing you through MOA in a wheelchair!!! Of course they'll heap all their shopping bags on ya!!
