It's the day before surgery and I'm even nuttier than usual. It's 10:39am right now and I have to wait until 12:30pm to call and see what my show time is for tomorrow.

I've got all those nagging things running through my head right now. You know the ones....what if something goes wrong? What if I wake up to find that they didn't do the surgery? I know I'm being paranoid but, still ya know.

I'm leaving work early today so I can go get a pedi in hopes that'll calm me down a bit. I have a lil cleaning to finish up and to pack my bag for tomorrow. I hope that I have an early show time. I think I will go clinically insane if I have to wait til tomorrow afternoon.

You're such a great support for all of us here, I can not help but let you know that I'm thinking of you for tomorrow and look forward to hearing about your experience. And, for what it's worth, Kel's right--Burt's Bees Rules!

Wishing you a uneventful surgery and of course I will be thinking about you. I know you will be coming out and saying "surgery was a breeze" just like me. Please keep in contact with Kel so she can keep us updated. I will say a prayer for you!!!!
