Sharon: I haven't had the surgery yet, and cannot offer anything else that you both no doubt know. I did, however, wish to welcome you to the List; you will find a continual exchange of information here, and I'm certain someone with more experience and knowledge than I will respond more informatively. Again, welcome to you both.
