Good luck to you! I had the "dreaded" hysterectomy 9/03. make sure you let everyone pamper you and rest, rest, rest. Lay around in your jammies even when you feel well -- because once they know you're feeling better, it's all back to normal. ;-)
I took a photo of Bono with me to the hospital in my purse -- one a friend of mine took while he was in Indianapolis during the Heartland tour. Il'l be thinking about you!
