Welcome!
At least you don't have to wait too much longer for your surgery and I hope your cold clears up soon too. I turned to blogging back in 2007 when I was first diagnosed. Mainly because I live in a rural area and I felt a bit isolated both with distance and also emotionally. From my computer I could ask the questions that I thought might have been silly or ones that I had forgot to ask the surgeon. I have wonderful women online and a few that I keep in touch with regularly.
I hope you are feeling better soon and wishing you a speedy recovery after surgery.
