Topic: RE: I'm home!
Hi : you've got 2 days to go I am 3 days out and for me the last 2 days before the surgery were the toughest. Lots of doubts, am I doing the right thing, gee I'm going to miss going out for beer and hot chicken wings. Yep lots of things your going to miss but then again there are lots of things that you are going to enjoy again....think of all the things little and big that you haven't been able to do while being so big...like cutting your own toe nails, getting onto a plane and not having to ask for a belt extension and not having your tray tip over there are a million of good things that are going to happen for you. Basically that's what got me through my last couple of days.
good luck and just remember for the fun of it passing gas never felt so good as it does after surgery. hang in let me know how it goes.

My bench has a spot for you just waiting! I have been blessed in my life to be able to find comfort and support from women when I've needed it. Please know I'm rooting for you.

You know, I'm really not nervous. It may be because I've been through breast cancer and several biopsies so surgery isn't anything new to me. But I'm so ready to get it over! I just love University Hospital and Dr. De la Torre. Where are you having surgery?
