I wish you the very best of luck and want you to know you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am having my surgery on 9/18/00 and that is just 4 more days. I was very scared at first but have a peace about it since I prayed and placed it all in the hands of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Good Luck and God Bless, we are going to do just fine. ^j^ Your date is my sons birthday he will be 17
