So, this is it....in less than 12 hours, it's my turn!

[KeeWee 470]

I've waiting for this moment for so long....not so patiently I might add and now it's here. I have no fears as I am not alone, He walks with me. I feel informed, aware and supported to the fullest therefore my mind is made up.

I choose to make the rest of my life, the best of my life!!! I can't wait to tell my success story...

Wishing you a speedy recovery after surgery. Be patient with different eating stages ..by 6 weeks I was eating regular foods. Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks so much everyone. I faced a lot of adversity today. I was just so excited I told a few coworkers on the way out the door, last time I did that, I got a heap of negativity and being new to the idea, it kinda brought me down but months later and 1000's of posts later, I feel 100% confident and today's negativity never changed my smile.

I'm nervous, not afraid and I will be successful even tho I know the possible complications. Thanks for your prayers...i'm going to attempt some kinda sleep...lol, Gn.

On the way I go...arrival by 530, procedure at 730. I can't believe this is happening...I've been given a second chance and I'm older and wiser...it's time to prove it NOW!
