Hi Shauna,

Congratulations!!! I couldn't be more delighted for you. I'll start polishing up a seat on the loser's bench first thing in the morning. I can't wait 'til your sitting right next to me!

I'm so sorry that you had such a rough start to the day, but it sure did end on a positive note!

Wow! A month from now, you'll be packing up for the trip of a life-time. That is soooo incredible!

Wishing you every success,

Barb

P.S. Be sure to recruit an angel. We'll want to know how you're doing until you can get back in the saddle. Hugs! B

Thanks so much, Barb!  I can't wait to start the packing part of things...I'm sure that is when I will be getting the big-time butterflies!  lol  I am going to recruit Shelia as my angel but she doesn't know that yet.  hehe  Guess I'd better give her the heads-up!

Thanks for sharing in my excitement, Sheryl!  The extra money took away the guilt I'd been feeling about squirreling away money for myself that could help us out right now.  lol  Hubby took the excess this morning to pay the bills that we've been panicking about.  WHEW!  Get that bench all shiny for me -- cause I'm a comin!

Thank you, Alice!  I can't wait to see what my ticker says tomorrow.  lol  Can you believe I'm coming down with sickness again?  I told hubby and the kids that we are investing in tons of Lysol, disinfecting EVERYTHING, and I swear I will lock myself in my sanitized bedroom with plastic over the door for the two weeks before surgery if they don't quit bringing bad germs home from work and school!  hehehe

I'm looking forward to finally having the post-op process to share!  lol 

I actually don't have migraines a lot.  Perhaps only one a month max, thank goodness.  I wouldn't wish chronic migraines on anyone!   Perhaps I'll be like you and not have any headaches after surgery?  That sounds like a great perk...so glad it worked out that way for you!
