The surgery has been scheduled for some time now. I am a bit nervous, to say the least. There has been much preparation for this event and I cannot wait to get this over and done with.......

I will be in the hospital for three days, coming home on Friday. I suspect I will be on pain pills for a few weeks.....

So you will probably hear lots from me since I will be housebound for nearly six weeks while recovering.

The cats will be happy having me here 24/7!
