My surgery is on the 13th. I have to be on a liquid diet for 3 weeks. I am very nervous and excited at the same time! I hope I can handle the 3 weeks in liquids!!

That's exactly what I said when someone asked me why I would want to have surgery on my birthday! I'm so excited I get to start my new life on the same date I was born. I think it's amazing!
