Amy,

You will do fine! :-) I wish your hubby had taken off at least a few

days after you get home to help you around the house! I'm glad your

on Thursday!!! I only told a handful of people before I had my

surgery. I didn't want the criticism either. I think I made the right

decision. Of course now most people who know are really supportive. :-)
