Carol, I am good with you adding me as a friend. What did you think of the Dr? I will meet him Thursday, for my consult. My original surgery date was April 12th, but I was still coughing from being sick in Jan. I am more than anxious to get this done and over with. The protein shakes are all nasty except for the orange and strawberry. Can't wait until I can have "normal" food, although a lot less of it. Are you happy with Umbach's work?
