I'm a closet sleever whose doing this alone. Today was my last day at work because my procedure is scheduled for Tuesday. While updating my out of office for work email & updating my voice mail, it hit me.

As I would tell my girlfriends......"This *ish is REAL!!" The waiting is over!

From 1/2013 to 7/2013, I'm finally here.

I've been to the required support groups,

the consultations,

the psych evals,

the 3 months with the Nut,

the EGD,

the H Pylori meds, (ugh)

the tears from being denied the 1st time around,

the excitement of being approved from the appeal,

the scheduled date FINALLY!! (the longest holiday weekend of my LIFE!)

the PreOp class,

My RX & "how to" on how to administer the blood thinner injections, once I get home. (and I'm TERRIFIED of needles)

Telling my coworkers I'm going out for gall bladder surgery

to this very moment.

I don't know how I should feel. I've read many books & I've scanned many blogs. I'm stocked up on food & prayers!!

I have enough chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth, seafood broth, jello, pudding, protien powders, syntrax nectar powders, isopure RTD, liquid whey protein tubes, chewable vitamins, chewable iron, applesauce, sugar free drink packets & bottled water to last me through to December!! lol.....No...seriously!

Thank you all for your support, your guidance & for emails I've received. We are all in this together & I'm looking forward to crossing over into my new beginning very shortly.
