Well all...this is my first posting, but I have been reading your comments and inspirational stories since July.
The great news...my surgery date has been scheduled for October 6 and my pre-op appointment is tomorrow. I have been working towards this day since April 2004. My husband, family, friends and co-workers are very excited for me. It's almost like a dream and I have a feeling that I won't believe it's happening until I wake up from surgery.
So many people ask me if I'm nervous and all I can do is give them a huge smile and say "Not at all." I allowed myself one moment of nervousness and even fear, and found myself crying in Chris's (my husband) arms. I believe he, more than anyone else, is so excited for us. We've already stared making all kinds of plans
I am going into this next step of my life positive. I've realized, that just like an infant, I am going to have to learn new habits on how to eat and exercise. Can you imagine OPPORTUNITY we are being given?! To discard all previous bad habits and be given a second chance to be healthier and wiser. Unbelievable! I cannot wait for the next chapter of my life to begin. I only have one question....will I be able to ski in the winter? I've been known to land on my belly
How about rollercoasters! OH! I CANNOT WAIT!!! I wish this happiness on all who take the steps toward health and happiness.
