It seems like the time is passing so slow since they called me and told me what time to be there in the morning. I should just go to bed, but I can't do that either....Drinking my last glass of clear liquids...then off to bed. I would like everyone that has posted kind words. For the prayers and the thoughts. Take care all, and I will see you on the other side.

Brenda, I have a 16 year old daughter who also didn't want me to have surgery. She was more worried about complications than anything else. I explained to her why I felt it was necessary, listened to her concerns, and then had surgery. She is now, by far my biggest supporter. Not a day goes by that she does'nt make some comment on how good I am looking. She really is celebrating my loss with me. Much more so than anyone else around me, including my husband. She even brought into the house a few of her friends the other day to show off her mom. Hopefully this will happen with you & your daughter too. Good luck with surgery.. prayers for a complication free surgery and a pain free, quick recovery are being sent your way! Tami

The Day before surgery and I can't wait. Everything went great on Friday for my Pre-Op testing. I'm still having trouble's with my daughter, what do you do for a 15 year old, that thinks that I'm a bad mother for having this done. She doesn't want me to be smaller than her. I have tried to tell her that it's for my health not for anything else. She doesn't want me to be smaller than her. This has allmost made me back out, but I can't. I would like to see her get married and If I don't have this done, then I will never be able to do that. Ok I'm off to get things ready for after I come home. Thanks so much for the prayers and thought's. Brenda

Good luck on your coming surgery. My prayers are with you, and hoping for an uneventful surgery, and a speedy, painfree recovery. Keep your focus on healing. Make sure you walk, and keep up your breathing exercise. YOU CAN DO THIS! See you on the other side. PS. If you check out my web page, be sure to sign the guest book there. Thanks.

Hi Brenda "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "Don't ask for it to be easy, ask for it to be worth it." Dan Kuschell You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however." - Richard Bach "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." ~ Katherine Mansfield "Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. JUST DO IT." ~ Nike advertising campaign "I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." ~ Carolyn Warner "Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives." ~ Author Unknown "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it." ~ Author Unknown "Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson A wish changes NOTHING; A decision, changes EVERYTHING "So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will,they soon become inevitable." Christopher Reeves "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior." Isaiah 43:2-3 Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it. May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days.
