WOW Kathi! It's YOUR turn, and I'm just elated for you! Personally, I had nothing but excitement during my four-month start to finish with no anxiety whatsoever---until the night before, I felt sheer panic, itemized my plans for my cat and 'plans' for in case I ddin't make it through! Ha! No problems, no concerns all the way up to my now being seven weeks shy of two year surgiversary. Keep focused on all the positives and many, many 'Wows' as you'll rediscover yourself during your new life! Wishing you nothing but the BEST of the BEST, with a successful surgery and forthcoming steps along your amazing, exciting journey! Soon as you're able, sip, sip, walk, sip, walk, sip, walk--each and every single day will get better and better hon! Sending hugs galore and a kiss for support your way! Lotsa luv, Patti See you on the ever-expanding loser's bench!
