I received my date for surgery and it is 1/23/2008!!!  I am so excited and a little concerned.  I started my liquid diet on 1/10/08 and have been struggling just a little bit!   I have been very irritable  and cranky to those closest to me but with the help of God and my family, I'll make it through.

I meet with Dr. Lowe on Wednesday, January 16th for pre-op meeting and the Anesthesiologist Friday, 1/18/2008 for pre-op testing and lab work.  

Things have been moving so quickly, abd I am nervous  about the unknown.  I've never taken this journey before, but I put my life in God's hands and ask that He walk with me, before me and after me through the process.

Please keep me in your prayers   as I go through the process next Wednesday, 1/23/2008 and beyond!!  

I'll provide an update once I get home from the hospital!

Thanks for listening!!!
