Wow ETS, you must have some connections to find that out from way over there. Thanks for the info. Since I'm such a big "planner", I've already done some research. My insurance through work will cover 100% of hospital costs for a semi-private room.....that cost varies depending on where in VGH I am. The new tower is $110/day and the old part is $75/day. If I chose a private room the cost is $150/day in the tower and $115/day in the other parts. The surgeon's office will book the surgery and at the same time request that I want a private room....although I was told there is no guarantee. So there you have it. Will probably not have any other update information until after the 17th.
Thanks again for your love and support everyone. MOFF, expect an email from me today.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
