Leaving For Surgery Today

Well, in about an hour I will be boarding an Amtrak that will take me to St Louis. I can't look back now. I prayed last night and cried too. I am nervous, but moreso about being alone than anything. Tomorrow (the 12th), I go in to surgery at 9:30am. I keep remembering that I am doing this to SAVE my life, not to END it. If by chance something were to go wrong, I would like to thank everyone for their support and kindnesses and hopefully within the next week, you will hear from me again. Until then, everyone, seek your dreams, set your sights on your goals because believe me, if I can do it, you can do it....just perservere!! I will be seeing you all on the other side, in one form or another!! Kisses!!

Hey Barb, You aren't that far from home, hun. I live 35 minutes north of St. Louis so I know. You will be fine and God will watch over you. Please don't forget you will be in all our prayers. Beth
