To my new family and friends here...

I dont have as much time this morning as I usually do to try and get in a few posts before I head out for the day, but I had to do at least one to let you all know how much you mean to me. I cried after reading all of the sweet supportive and caring words everyone posted for me yesterday. I knew you guys were great but I had no idea how much you all really love and care for me. I dont have many friends and my family can be a letdown sometimes, I havent felt that people cared so much about ME in a long long time. I know I am a little extra emotional because I am so close to surgery, but I truly wanted you all to know how special you make me feel and how blessed I feel to have found this board and all of you INCREDIBLE souls that make me feel like a part of your family. I love you ALL!!!! Thank you for being there for me and showing how much you care! Karyn

Thank you Karyn! This is a team effort!

yes it is Lori, and you are a valued member of this team! Thanks for all your support on here~! Karyn

Hi Karyn, How was your pre-op testing?...Now the hard part is over and you can just sit back and let your surgeon's skilled hands do all the work. You will truly be in my thoughts and prayers on Monday. All I can say is to keep your eyes on the prize! That will see you through! Hugs, Ginger

Thanks Ginger! Pre-op was a breeze, nothing traumatic. I am getting more and more emotional as I get closer to surgery though, thanks for keeping me in your prayers! Karyn

Karyn I am so grateful to have found this site and people like you! I thought your post was so sweet and so thoughtful! You know you can count on us anytime...GOOD LUCK with your surgery and wishes for a speedy recovery!! {{{{{{{{{{BIG SMO HUGS BEING SENT TO YOU}}}}}}}}}}}} , Jamie
