Kathy,
I'm glad your brother is able to join you for your time in Florida. An extra set of eyes and ears is always beneficial at appointments. It is amazing how much you can miss, that a loved one can pick up. Or even hear something different and then get your loved one's take on it. So that is excellent. I truly believe you will pass this one with flying colors! Keep us posted and I hope you get your surgery date soon. God bless.
