Well time is winding down. Not too many more days before I go in. All is well, so that is a good thing. Have I mentioned before that I am loving this site? I have made some incredible friends who are so full of encouragement to me and it feels great. I just want to send them a "shout out" to say thank you for being in my friends list and for helping me through with all of your advice and concerns.

Anyway I had my pre-op on friday, the day after Thanksgiving and I had no questions to ask the surgeon, (i don't know why, i didn't because before when I first went there to discuss the surgery and if it was for me I had a page full of questions. I got home only to realize that oh... now I have questions (thinking, why didn't i ask her that). I really feel like even with all the research that I have done I don't want to know what she is going to do when I go under anesthesia.. The thought of being put to sleep is something that is hard to grasp for me (even though I know when its your time, its your time) but it is still a little scary. I have gotten better about it as time has progressed that is the calming that I have spoke about before. So, I still don't want to know what all she will do but I do have faith that whatever happens I will be okay.
I have gotten to spend time with my niece these last few days and it has been great. She has so many stories to tell and pictures to show. She will be leaving tom. but hopefully she will be able to come back hom in dec around christmas to spend some time with us.

Hello, I am back at work today. I took yesterday off due to being exhausted. I picked my niece up on sat. I did some shopping first and we didn't get back home until sunday around 3:30 am. I didn't go anywhere sunday. I did some household chores and that was about it. Monday I stayed home from work and tried to get ready for the thanksgiving holiday. So, needless to say I am here and feeling kind of swell.

Tom. I pick up my niece. I am dreading the drive but I will be happy to see her. I am totally loving this site, I have met some really nice people. It is so good to not feel alone during this whole process. It could be a little overwhelming for those who can't handle stress well. I am so glad that everything has been moving along smoothly for me.

Well, I am still waiting. Today is going pretty good. I have done a lot of running around this week. My niece Khrystal is coming home this weekend. She has been on deployment with the Navy. She has been gone for 6 months. Khrys is a beautiful young women, but she doesn't want me to have the surgery. She is afraid of what may happen and she says she doesn't want to loose her aunt. I have listend to her and I let her know that I respect her opinion, I love her and I have explained to her that this is something that I am going to do and that she may as well except it and we can move on. So I will see if her feelings have changed once she gets her. I am going to pick her up this weekend in SC. I have 9 nieces 5 nephews and 20 great neices/nephews. I have one biological brother and one extra special friend I call my brother, and 5 sisters ( i am the baby).
So I have a pretty big family. For the most part they are all supportive.

Dr. Hardcastle's office called this morning to inform me that my original surgery time has been moved back about 45 minutes. She has a meeting that morning. Oh well, I am still excited. I would have been dissappointed if they had moved the date back, I am so glad they didn't.
I am thinking about Thanksgiving dinner. It seems the closer the days get the more I am wanting food. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. One thing is for sure Nov. 29th I meet with the nutritionist and I am almost positive they will start me on my liquid diet at that time. So, I guess I am looking sub-conscientiously at thanksgiving being my last big supper.

Its hard to just concentrate on the surgery when there are so many other things going on in my life everyday. I am in school (evening degree program), I work a full time job and a part-time job all on top of being a single parent. I don't know when my life will slow down but one thing is for sure after the surgery and some weight loss I should have more energy.
