Hi Corsica!
I hope the time until surgery really goes by quickly! I too had to wait 5 weeks and thought I would die but I made it through and you will too!
It seems to be the season for very successful LIS surgeries, and I know for a fact that you will pull through this with no complications....I have a really good feeling about you!! I hope you can do some nice things for yourself while you await surgery, don't let your mind wander to negative thoughts....I know it's easier said than done!
Just look forward to the future of no pain and a wonderful life where you can go and do anything your little heart desires!!! It will be well worth it!
