4/19/03...The date is moving closer and I am at peace with my decission and looking forward to a new lifestyle. My stomache still gets very nervous at times.. I am now on my special low-fat diet and have been trying my best to follow it even before I needed to follow it. you know those 10 days before! It has been real nice having an awesome support system. The responce from my clients(I do nails!) has really helped. I have viewed this surgery as a nesecissity not an option, they all have told me how proud and courageous I am ,which makes me feel good. I did have some fears that I might fail at this too.. but I have been doing alot of personal introspection. I am a success and nothing is perfect in this world. I was glad to hear from my daughter that lives in Jacksonville last night.. I am hoping one day she will blossom and her life will change , and she will come home. That is a major pain that I have in my heart. But I know she is doing well with her grandparents and that she is somewhere safe. Running away was the worst trauma that any parent should have to go thru. My other children at home miss her alot especially her youngest sister. She always asks when she is comming over. I believe that one day everything will work out. I thought time was standing still, but it really is moving! ONLY 10 DAYS LEFT!@!!! i will update soon, hugs! By the way I have my cardiac clearence on Monday..my echo and ekg has been done so pray that I don't need any further tests!! Only 8 days from Monday!!
