Hi all,
I am counting down the days to my hernia re-repair surgery. A little over a year ago, I had the original hernia repair...and then a few in between. I am getting nervous, but more anxious to feel normal again than anything. I know that my family and close friends are really praying hard for this to be the last surgery. I wrote earlier and my computer locked up, so here I go again.
I want to thank you all who have supported me along the way in the last 2 years here on the forum. You have all been my backbone and I can not thank you all for the wonderful support, thoughts, prayers, private messages, and just the love that I have received. I am truly blessed and really don't know how I could've survived without you all.
Pam, I am happy that we are sharing the day together...and know that I will be praying for you...and thinking of you as I am wheeled into the OR. I will be at Scripps Encinitas. Just know that I will be with you
Sandi, my podmate, I have to say that YOU are the reason why I can sleep at night. You have brought me out of my depressed days where I just could only hope the pain would subside. You are my angel, my bestest sista, my podmate, my shoulder to cry on....know that I am so thankful destiny brought us together. Thank you for getting me through.
To all of my wonderful friends here...I thank you in advance for all of the thoughts and prayers that you might say for me. I know I will need them especially in this last week of work. I am going nuts waiting. I think worse than wls surgery.
I am in great hands. My anesthesiologist will be there and I have faith in my surgeon. I can't wait. I can't wait to be well.
Love and hugs to all. Thank you with all my heart for everything.
Dale
By the way....I have managed to maintain a 10 pound weight gain....Doctor's orders for surgery. I feel heavier, but I know it is ok.
