Hi everyone. This is the latest update on my surgery plans. This is looking like a long long summer.

Start pulmonary therapy Tuesday and Thursday. Will have to do this before, during and after my surgery. Had a another chest x-ray and something call a nuclear x ray Thursday, waiting for results on that. Wish I knew more, this waiting is getting to me.

Sherry, it sounds as though you are on your way.. For how long will you have to be in rehab before the surgery? Waiting is always difficult when you have something like this ahead of you. I am really happy that you are getting this chance.

I wish you all the best results in everything. Please keep us informed as you progress along.
