I'm so happy for you. I know it is unsettling, but it will be much easier than you are thinking. If Yolonda is taking care of things, then you will have a really nice man pick you up and take you directly to the hospital. It is all very easy, you don't have to worry about anything. There is a safe in the hospital room too are staying in, it is big and has great views. The first night, a translator stays with you just in case, but you will be fine. When you get back to the room after surgery, you will be pain free and you will be amazed at how you feel and how much you can do. I know you will do great, best of luck to you and I can't wait to hear from you after.
