Hi Lyn, I'm sorry to hear about your father. You should maybe go speak to somebody about that and perhaps get osme medicine to help you with your emotions. Man of my friends go to therapists or psychologists just ot talk and get their feelings organized, it might be a great idea, and you would probably find it helpful. ABout your surgery, you should call up your doctor to ask him any further quesitons you might have. Usually upon hearing such shocking news, one would forget all of the things they might want to ask! I'm sure it's not going ot seem weird if you call him with some questions, or maybe even schedule another papt. to meet with him so you can ask him everything. Be sure to ask what kind of consequences this might have in the future regarding having children, sex, etc. Best of luck to you, feel better. Sincerely,

-- Lauren
