Last Night Of My Old Life

Well it is my last night of my old life. Surgery at 11:30 in the morning. I can't seem to get things ready. I still haven't even packed my bag yet. I am terrified but know what ever happens is God's will and it is out of my hands at this point.

 

It is hard to describe how I feel today. I;m apprehensive but so ready to be on the other side. I pray that the pain isn't too bad and my surgery is uneventful. Sometimes I feel like I'm being selfish when I pray for myself. I have a strong Christian faith and I know that HE is in control not me. I'm keep holding on to that.

 

Thanks everyone for listening to me whine about everything since my journey began. You guys rock! I'm not really one of those people that says "the glass is half full".... I'm sure you've caught on to that reading my post. I will, however, go into this surgery with a positive attitude. :)

 

Thanks to this forum for helping me to this point. Tomorrow is the beginning to my my new life. :)

 

Next blog will be on the other side!

I hear myself in your post. I struggle with feeling selfish too, but you have to remember that in our belief our body is a temple that God created for us and we have not taken care of it. This is just a way to try to get back to the beautiful state He intended it to be. Do it for yourself, but do it to honor Him too. I am praying for you right now....

Don't ever feel selfish, the good Lord knows what you need before you speak it and will be with you every step of the way. You will be in my prayer's. I understand your nervousness and can only imagine how I will be when I am in your shoes. I was a wreck the morning of my endoscopy and thought to myself how the heck am I going to be the morning of my surgery?! I needed to shake myself out of it and gain control. (as much as I could anyhow)

You're going to do great and I look forward to hearing an update from you! This time tomorrow you'll be on the loser's bench!
