Time to go....
Well....I am leaving for Toronto as Monday is my surgery day. One day extra there for me to enjoy (without the good food though lol).
Opti has been really rough for me but I have taken the advice of many of you on here and am feeling a bit better. For those that are on it and can`t seem to get that fourth one day....it might be worth a second try at it otherwise you will be exhausted. After such a long process, it seems like only yesterday that I got the call to see the surgeon and then now I feel like I could use a little more time. I am worried but I think it is just normal jitters. My children still are not quite sure they are comfortable with the risks but all in all....I have done my best to explain to them the reasons why I need to have this surgery. My family support is great but nobody really knows what it is all about as much as you all do.
On Monday morning a new jouney begins with new challenges and I know there is so much support here waiting so for that I am grateful. Just wanted to say...
Thank you to all of you
