One Week from Today
May 20, 2009
Well one week from today I will be waiting to go to the OR. I am getting more excited by the min. For the first time I am just a bit nervous though. I have told many patients it's OK to be nervous I guess I should take my own advice.
I can't believe the great source of love and Support my family and friends are. Of course MY Husband Jeff, Best Friend Michele and Mother are heading up the pep squad. I sure hope they realize how much I appreciate them. There is also my family MD and his secretary, they have been amazing with the process.
I am so glad I have made this decision, and I can't wait to get on with the Journey.
