Hiya Lou-Ann - I've moved your post to it's own intro thread
Welcome to the Community and congrats on your date! I know you must be very excited. I know when I first got my date - I was a bit of a nervous wreck as well as excited. Anyway - the time will fly by. Before you know it - it'll be the 19th and you are having your surgery!
I hope you enjoy the forum - let me know if you need any assistance = I will be more than happy to help!
Jacquii.
