Macd123;
I hope everything goes well. I am sure it will go much smoother than you think.
I wish you the best luck.
I am sorry that you will be alone afterwards, which concerns me a little. But, as I said, I believe that things will go smooth and you will not need much help from anyone.
You will have your independence back very soon. I promise. In the mean while, I hope you can find a way to keep us (not sure if you can type) updated about your recovery.
Good luck
