The hospital called to confirm Paul's procedure this Thursday. This hospital here in Naples has a top notch reputation and so does the dr. Just want to get there and get this whole thing over with. It's really stressing me out but I'm trying to downplay it with Paul so that he doesn't worry too much (and he's a super worrier) -- he's never been sick a day in his life so this is something totally new and frightening. I want to thank everyone on TCS for their support and concern. Sometimes your "on line" friends are more comforting than people you see every day.
