Hello. I am getting more calm as the time approaches. I am down to the day after tomorrow now. I have to say that I have done all that I know to do to prepare for this. The waiting has been very hard. These last days leading up to surgery have been very hard and this site has been great and very comforting for me. I spent almost two days looking at before and after pics reminding myself that others have gone before and there is so much to gain. Today I spent the day reading what the hospital stay is like and what to take. Also reading and answering msgs from others that will forever share a surgery date with me. I even found someone that will be in the same hosp. with and even will have the same dr. as I will have. Hoping to maybe meet her on a lap around the hosp... seems that I will be doin alot of that. Have also warned my daughter that I might ask her to stay with me as that was in the list of things invaluable things to take... *S* Guess i am as ready as i can be...let's go..
