Getting Situated

Feb 07, 2009

Hello Everyone,

I have just joined OH a couple of days ago and it is going to take me a little bit to adjust to the set up here.  For those who put in friend's requests, I finally figured out how to add you lol. One mission accomplished!  Anywho, I am glad to be here and look forward to meeting new people and learning through sharing.  My RNY surgery was just scheduled last week.  If all goes well, I will be having my surgery on March 23rd at 10:00 a.m.  Let me tell you, I thought I would be ecstatic to get a surgery date finally.  I've been working towards this goal for three long years and now I am finally scheduled.  Guess what?  I'm not ecstatic.  More like petrified.  I know I am doing this to save my life but it does not make it any less frightening. 

I'm just going to approach it one step at a time.  I cannot dwell on the what ifs. I deserve this.  It has been a long time coming and I have worked really hard to get to this point.  Hard work for something this important is not that hard now that I look at it.  Of course quitting smoking wasgrueling after 26 years of smoking.  I did it cold turkey because my life is more important than a cigarette.  If I can quit smoking (yesterday was 5 months), I can do anything. 

I hope to meet new friends and learn from their stories.

I'm generally easy going.  I am an avid reader.  I love to laugh so comedy is definately my thing.  I'm a pretty good person.  I treat others like I would want to be treated.  Looking forward to meeting positive people. 

Well, that's all folks.  Till we meet again......
