This Thanksgiving is the Eve of the rest of my life!
Today I am thankful for so very many things! I have an incredible family that is more supportive than I ever realized. I have a son who is the light of my life. I have wonderful friends who have been amazing to me - especially in this new journey.
I am thankful for the hunger and slight deprivation I feel today as I conclude this, the last day if my pre-op diet because it is the end of another step!
I am thankful for my surgeon, dietician, nurse practitioners, residents, and nurses who will take me under their care tomorrow and through the weekend.
I am thankful for this tool I will be receiving to help me finally learn to control the monster that is my hunger.
I am thankful for my life and my future!
Tomorrow is the big day! Wish me luck!
Prayers for a sucessful procedure, skillful surgeon with steady hand, caring nurses and aftercare and speedy recovery. God be with you tomorrow- Smiles your way!
