Surgery Is Scheduled For This Thurs 11/8

[zbeeze 17]

I am nervous, excited, and cautiously optimistic all at once! Seeing the doctor today (last time before surgery), praying that there are no issues with my endoscopy, blood work, etc. to postpone the surgery past it's scheduled 11/8 date. I'm in the "let's get it done" place.

My husband (who is the cook in our house) attended the class with me to discuss post surgery nutrition. He asked a LOT of questions about what he could cook for me (in the future) and how it should be prepared. He also asked about Thanksgiving and Christmas and what I could have since I'll be in different stages for each. I think the other people in the class were stunned that he was thinking so far ahead. But, I was so proud of him! Walked out thinking how lucky I am to have someone as supportive as he is. While my head was in the NOW, he was planning for our future!

That my friends set my priorities straight. The little bit of discomfort we will go through in the immediate future is nothing compared to the joy and happiness that our future days will have (and the fact that we will be here to enjoy them)! So -- on with LIFE. Please keep in your thoughts and prayers for Thursday!

Best of luck and you are in my prayers. I pray every morning for the ones going into surgery on that day.
