Dear Mary Lou, I'm so happy for you. When you say you are going alone,
do you mean all alone or no other adhesion sufferers? People have gone
all alone, but its so much easier if a hubby, boy friend, mother, friend,
goes with you. You will probably need to be waited on in the apartment
you go to after the surgery. The first few days are in the hospital of
course, so there is good care there. Don't forget your German/English
dictionary. I'll pray that your visit is as successful as mine. Good luck,
dear and stay in touch. I'll help you any way I can. Love, Sally
