WW,

Thank you so much for the positive thoughts, they mean a lot to me. You are truly good people. I have decided to wait until around Thanksgiving for the surgery because of our financial situation. We are truly in very bad shape. If I wait until then, I'll have a few vacation days, and two days for Thanksgiving to recover, and I won't have to miss work. Losing any pay right now would be devastating to the family. I'd just rather take my chances. That may be hard to understand, but for me, taking care of my family has always come first. Thanks for thinking of me though, and please, keep the good thoughts, I really need them.
