Well tomorrow is my big day, 5:30 am hospital arrival, 7:30 am surgery. I am so nervous I haven't even packed my over night bag. YIKES. But come hell or high water I am doing this and doing this for me. I just want to be healthy, to get off the meds, to give myself the best opportunity to be around to see my grandchildren. I want to be one of the success stories, one to share words of encouragement to those that will soon sit in my exact shoes on the night before their surgery. So here we go...time to pack and try to get some sleep. (A smile comes across my face with a bit of nervous excitement!) Merry Christmas to everyone and I'll check in after surgery.
