After many tests & train rides down to NYC, I am scheduled for ADR surgery on January 20th. As each day winds down & I get closer to the big day, I get more & more nervous.

I'm still unsure as to whether or not my insurance will pay for my surgery. If they won't, I at least have worked out arrangements with my doctor's office & hope that everything works out with the agreement. I really can't go in to too much more detail about it though.

I have been making preparations in anticipation of my surgery. I have most of what I need for the hospital already. I just have to pack what I have on my checklist. I still have to fill out the health care proxy paperwork & there are a few things around the house I still need to take care of beforehand.

I guess it's good to keep busy so I don't think about it so much. Can anyone think of anything else that I should be doing before surgery?
