Something a message just reminded me of...

 I recieved a message from another OHer and it asked me if I was ever scared. It made me think back to before my surgery at how I felt pretty ok with my desicion not really having any fears until about 2 weeks from surgery date. For some reason it became so real to me at how my life was going to change and would I be ok. Would I make it through? What about my kids? I knew going in to this that if I didn't do something that I wasn't going to be there for them but at least doing this they will always know that I was at least trying to get healthy. These thoughts just kept going through my mind and then the morning came of going to the hospital. I had already filled out all my stuff and was waiting to be taken down with this lady come over to me. She handed me these scripture cards and told me hon u don't know me but I  had this overwhelming sense to come over to you and tell you that God said it was all going to turn out and that I was going to be fine. All I could do was cry as all of the scaredness and worry I had been feeling just left my body. Sure enough came through surgery pretty good and alls been well since then! 

Just wanted to share with everyone! I still have those little cards and every now and then will think back to that angel who will never know how much she meant to me that morning!
