Today is the day.
Well, not surgery day. But today is the day I start my liquid fast/diet for the surgery. My flight for DFW leaves tonight at 6PM.

Scared? You bet. But I would be foolish to not be a little nervous. On the whole, I am doing OK. I feel like I am stepping out onto this new road that I’ve never been down before. I think that alot of my twitchy-ness is coming from uncertainty of that road. I can see that the road has some rocks and twisty-turns in it.

For those of you that are keeping up with all of this – and who want to get into contact with me; I will be in Methodist Hospital in Dallas. Surgery is in the AM on Friday morning. I should be in a room by that afternoon. Feel free to come by (if you’re local and/or in the area), call or to send flowers or money. 😉

Oh, yeah! I am putting together a list of folks who want to be notified of “she’s outta surgery and headed to her room”. Do you want to be on this list? Then either post here (with your preferred phone number) or email it to me, if you prefer it to be private. My email address is triplemare@yahoo.com

Thanks for all the good thoughts, people. I appreciate them.

  1. You’ll be in and out before ya know it.

    All the best decisions I ever made scared the crap outta me when I had to carry them out.

    I expect you’re in the same boat here.

    I’ll see ya in a month or so.

    1. *big sigh* I know. I am thankful to have so many friends with whom I can chew on this. ’cause that’s what I’ve been doing for 2 weeks now. Every day it gets closer and becomes more “real”, if that makes sense.

  2. Good luck, and mad skillz to your surgeon 😉

    I’ll be waiting to see something here from you – no need to add calling me to someone’s post-surgery list.

  3. Calming meds for you, and steady hands for your doctor. Please let us know how you’re doing.

    I can’t wait to see how it goes for you – I’m thinking with your outlook and zest for life, you’ll be doing marathons in 6 months. *g*

    1. Only if the boobies shrink with the rest of me. As Olive Oyl might say, “They’re laaaaaarge!” *snerk*

      Thank you for the support and calming meds. Hopefully, the nice anesthestician will pump me full of happy drugs while I wait for the surgery.

  4. O’course I want on that list! But I’m almost out of cell minutes, so a text message to my phone number would be loverly – I can receive messages for free that way.
    *hugs and good thoughts and good changes and stuff*

    1. Honey, I can only find the 520-234…number. I know that cannot be right. Will you email the correct number so that John can text you when I’m out?

      *huggles*

  5. Happy thoughts on its way for you. Good Luck and since I am here in Dallas and the hospital is not far from where I will be on Saturday I will see if I can swing through and give you a in person Hug.
