New Kid on the block
Well, finally down to the wire. Surgery is Tues morning. Have to be at the hospital tomorrow evening to screen and tag my blood. Then early Tues morning is the big day. To say that I'm emotionally drained would be an understatement. But, I'm sure you all have been there. Scared *&^%less is the strongess feeling right now. Crazy thoughts like, just live on pain meds.... Mmmmmm crap that won't work. HA HA. Went to my primary doc, the new one that I lucked into getting. Needed chest xray as last item, because of my bouts with pneaumonia. We chatted for some time and she asked if I wanted some anti-anxiety meds. I declined because I'm hoping to one day live med free. And I'm on enough other stuff, I'm afraid of bad side effects. Kinda wish I had taken her up on the offer. Oh well, glad I found this site when I did. I know that there are others like me. Thanks for letting me vent. See you on the other side.

J,
Right about now you're jumping out of your skin. Don't worry, it will all be in place when you wake up from surgery, even though some of it will be stitched together  Good luck tomorrow and when you're up to it, let us know how it went. You are in our thoughts. Dale

Greetins all. Well, my surgery is complete. Although I still have pain it is different than before. The morning after the surgery my surgeon came in to let me know that it went perfectly. I received phenomenal care at the hospital and my pain was well managed with meds. I'm now home and going to start the recovery. I have already been doing alot of walking and will continue to do so. I'm pretty exhausted but felt as though I needed to give you the update. More to come after my first post-op appt. Thank you very much for being here for me and providing me with the support and advice you have given to this point. This is a great site.
Thanks again. J
