Being nervous is expected and normal . Your not a big dork!

Okay, I really don't know you, so....LOL!! Instead of worrying, try

going to sleep and dreaming of all the wonderful new adventures and

things you'll be doing by this time next year! Dream about the new

wardrobe your going to have to go shopping for. Get the idea? Focus

on the positive and sleep will come easier and you'll have a better

recovery.

Remember our prayers are with you. Everything will be fine. Let us

know how your doing ASAP. Take Care and God Bless.

Blessings, Yvonne

fight back tears - I so hate to cry - but I want you all to know that

I'm taking a part of each one of you with me into surgery tomorrow.

Each of and every one of you - pre-op, post-op - has amazing

strength. I am going to take your strength and make it mine.

Hi ,

You will do fine and I too agree that this list has been not inspirational,

but extremely helpful as well.

Just let us know how the surgery goes when you are up to it and I know that

you will do well.

It is by far the best thing that I have ever done for myself and I am sure

that in time you will feel the very same way too.

Greetings Losers and Soon-to-be Losers,

First I want to apologize that I did not send individual emails to each of

you that have sent me well wishes over the past week. Second, I want to

thank you all so much for all of your encouraging words and happy thoughts.

I was so far behind in the posts as I caught a killer virus a week before

surgery. An imperfect chest x-ray last week almost delayed my surgery. The

make-up x-ray was acceptable. I've finally caught up on all the posts.

I go in for surgery in a matter of hours. Nerves are keeping me awake, but

the glow of the computer screen is slowly making my eyelids slightly heavier

by the second. Hopefully I will be able to sleep some tonight, but between

the annoying CPAP machine and my hyperactive brain, I'm not sure how

successful I will be.

Back to the point of my post...
