Less than 10 hours!!!!!

Holy Cow!!! Less than 10 hours before I check into the hospital! Not sure what time surgery is, but I'm assuming 7:00ish. Why else would I have to be there at 5:30 am? Still not too nervous...just very emotional today. Crying at the drop of a hat. Tonight I'm just going to finish packing my bag and soak in the tub. I will be back in a few days to fill everybody in!!! Thanks for the prayers and messages I've been getting! You are all so wonderful!!!!

I had to check in that early, too. I really liked it because my apprehension couldn't build up through the morning. And also, since you can't DRINK anything, who wants to hand around being thirsty. I hope the same peace overcomes you that did me when it actually came to the moment. It felt like I had "done my time" worrying and being afraid and had it out of my system. Deep breaths, stay in the moment! Gano

I'm following you right behind! My surgery is scheduled for 8:00 and I have to be there by 6:00. Best of luck! Mary
