Hi all, if this is in the wrong place...I'm sorry maybe it needs to be moved.

Next week I have the first of my ortho surgery appts. Then in the next few weeks more. I am consumed with what will happen. It's so huge in my life. I guess I'm wondering how others are dealing with this and coping. I haven't even been to the appointments and I'm obsessing!

I never thought the day would come where I was actually looking forward to surgery. The more I know the better I feel, I found out tons of important information regarding insurance and "emergency" issues such as what happens if something goes wrong and I have to stay at the hospital...i.e. who pays. Putting all my ducks in one row so to speak.

And then I think of all of you right before you go to Germany...and the anticipation. So, I guess I'm wondering how you all deal with these issues. I so wish to extend my support for all of you making the decision and the "waiting period".
