Hey Elaine,

you are gonna be in great hands there at UPMC, Pittsburgh is world renowned for their many different hospitals and specialties. I have been to many of the hospitals there for various reasons (visiting only, Thank God!) and found and hear only praise.

It sucks that you have to wait so long, the worse thing is anticipating, and you have a while to anticipate. But you will be fine.

How far from Pittsburgh is Hesson (?)
Have a great day.
