One Day After Surgery

It is one day after surgery and I am doing okay. The pain has been a little worse than I anticipated, but they are taking great care of me at Saint Mary's. The nurses have been great and the pain has been manageable with pain medicine. I have had quite a few people visit me and have only fallen asleep on a few on them so far. I have had more energy today.

Thanks everyone for your prayers and concern. It means the world to me. I am so grateful that I was given the opportunity to have surgery. I am thinking of March 16, 2010 as my second birthday. My life is going to change in huge ways and I am excited for that. Once I lose weight, I will be able to do things that I have never been able to do. I am excited for this journey and all the WOW moments that are to come. Thanks again for you support and I look forward to going on this journey along with you.

Excitement and Happiness

I am nine hours away from surgery and am filled with so much excitement. I am not nervous like I thought I would be. I should be in bed getting some sleep but I am wide awake. I have so much support pulling for me and that makes my heart sing. Tonight great friends came to visit and pray with us. Thanks Sharolyn and Joan for being such great friends. We cherish both of you so much. We both feel so at ease about surgery and you helped us so much!

Surgery is at 7:30 AM. I really have the better deal because I will be sleeping through the whole thing. Steve has the hard part and will be in the waiting room. I am so glad that his sister Brenda will be there to help him. Thanks for your prayers and well wishes. This is going to change my life and I am ready for that. I will post more after surgery so that everyone knows how I am doing. Thanks for reading this and for caring!
