Feeling sentimental today!

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

Today is my 1-year postop anniversary for Surgery 1. Since I needed

2 surgeries, this date isn't as important as the second surgery date

in terms of an " anniversary " , but the memories are flooding back to

me as to how I felt exactly 1 year ago today (just waking from

surgery right about now this time last year). It gave me a reminder

of what many of you are experiencing right now, either waiting for

your dates or in the healing process.

For all the new postoppers, hang in there and take it day by day.

For the preoppers, the waiting stinks and is hard and long, but your

day will come. For those going in soon, you may be feeling nervous

and anxious and that is normal! I'd worry for folks who go into this

without a care in the world. But keep busy and focused on the goal.

I truly admire all of you. I think we are one bunch of brave, tough,

strong and fantastic folks!

Irish!
