Thanks! It's pretty common surgery for women my age, we're just doing it in the hospital because I've had problems with anesthesia before.

Take good care,

I think the last time I was admitted for non-emergency surgery was about seven to eight years ago. I stayed overnight and only paid a $10 copay.
