Getting Nervous

Sep 11, 2009

Since I started this process in March, so much has happened! I quit smoking cold turkey!! Thank God!! I went through getting approved and trying to get surgery scheduled, and WOW... Eventually I changed surgeons...  So my new birthday is next Thursday September 17th. Ironic that it's 1 month to the day from my "real" birthday...   Funny thing is, the girls and I went to a rascal flatts concert back in July and I bought Toby Keith/Trace Adkins tickets while we were there. The concert is on September 17th.  I told the girls on the way home, if my surgery ends up being on the concert day, I'm having surgery and yall will have to go to the concert with out me. LOL Well... Surgery is on the day of the surgery... so they are going.  and I'm getting a new start.   My husband is supportive but not so excited about it! He's afraid I'm gonna die during surgery or regret having the surgery down the road..  The main purpose for having this surgery is so I can be healthy and enjoy my life and my kids.  My mother is 55 years old. She has degenerative bone disease and has had 6 back surgeries in the last 2 years.  She is on so much pain medication that she can't really do anything or focus even on a conversation. It's very sad, and I REFUSE to be like this in 20 years... My back hurts now as it is!! I want to enjoy life and be healthy.. So, PLEASE GOD let this surgery help me get healthy!!!   I know it's a tool and that life after is a lifestyle change, I get that.  I know it will be hard.. But I can do it!! I'm so greatful for OH, all of the people on here are such inspirations to me!  

So---- Here we go... Preop is on WEdnesday and Surgery is on Thursday!!!   WOOOHOOO
