Lori, I am so very excited for you in your new journey in life. To say this surgery is life changing doesn't truly express all that it has done for me and will do for you as well. To be healthy again, have more freedom of movement and the confidence it gives us changes us more on the inside than it does on the outside. Many wishes for a postive surgery experience. My prayers will be with you over the next few days as you prepare and for your surgeon's hands as she operates. God's speed!
