I Received My Approval Letter!!!!!

I am just tooooo excited!!!! :D I thought this day would never come!!! When I decided to have the surgery done, I was so excited! When it took so long and never received a date, I became discouraged and at one point slightly depressed. One of my best friends had her surgery on 2/23/04 and I was there with her. It was great to see what I would be going through once that day FINALLY came. Now, I know it's going to come!!! I'm dancing, but you can't see me! :p I can't wait until Monday so that I can talk to my doctor and get my surgery date!! I'm just too happy! :D :D :D

Congratulations! I hope your surgery date is real soon.

Keep us up to speed on your progress.

Take Care,
