Second Opinion

Just got back form Beth Israel. It was a long appointment and we decided to make a day out of it. We rode the bus to avoid the horrible traffic into the city and that was a great idea.

Tomorrows the Day! Do Not Panic! (talking to myself...)

Hi Sisters, So I am not as ready as I was the last time I was supposed to have this surgery. I didn't do any laundry yet, but I did clean my house, grocery shop for my favorite foods, and chicken soup from Alexander's Deli. I have someone coming on Monday and Tuesday to visit.
