On my way to the hospital

[Cinderella 2]

Hi Y'all.... here I go.

This is IT!!! My husband is driving me to the train, where I'll go in alone. Hired a woman who is a "Medical chaperone" to sit and wait for me during surgery.. Didn't want the husband there as he is NOT supportive of this surgery and thinks that I have gone completely insane. I'm surprised he didn't try to have me committed!!

But I don't care.. this is BY ME, FOR ME, and ABOUT ME. In a lot of ways, working through the hard process of getting yoruself Sleeved is a very American thing to do. It's all about the rugged pioneer spirit of finding a better life, despite the hardships. It's all about individualism and freedom, and it's also really darned exciting to think about how much better my life is giong to be.

Strangely, I am not scared at ALL... already been through that. Dried my tears of doubt and facing the rising sun now. I will say.. I have total trust in my surgeon, and the hospital I am going to (New York Presbyterian - Dr. Pomp) and that is everything.

Ladies, I'll see you on the other side now. So long for awhile.
