I usually don't give any credence to horoscopes in the paper but mine last week in the Austin Chronicle was interesting, it said: "Your rescue is scheduled for no later than your birthday, possibly before. In the meantime, the best thing you can do to prepare for your release is to feel gratitude for all you've learned during your ordeal." The next day I got a call from the surgeon's scheduler. The first available date they had for my lapband procedure was April 7th, my birthday. I said "I'll take it." I'm regarding it as a new beginning. Good luck to everyone on their surgeries!
