I will think this preoperative time is good so I can get more emotionally prepared and to have the chance to talk to wonderful ladies and gentlemen over here.
there is a saying which says: fail to plan then prepare to fail.
I am trying to educate myself on the operation, do shopping to explore my options after the operation.
eventually it will happen. please take care of urself and keep up the positive attitude.
It's almost kind of severe to say that you'd rather die than be alone. From what I know is that this operation will NOT cure mental illness and I don't expect it to. But to also say that you want the surgery now makes me worry. You want it now so you won't change your mind? It's kind of confusing, but maybe I read it wrong.

This might seem a little off, but I like my mental illness; it makes me a more interesting person. Not that I'm already am!

HOLY F*CK ON A CORN DOG!! My doc said that she would release me and now all I have to do is wait for the surgery date!
*screams and dances around the house*

This is probably the best day, next to getting approved for the surgery.

God, I feel awesome!!!!!

Of course I am! My name indicates a rotating gear in a car or a figure skating move, which is obviously cool...or maybe that's just me.

HFOACD came from my fingers. I honestly just typed it out, reviewed before I posted and left it there because, "Eh, why not?"

Do I still have my bags packed? I haven't even pack my bags from the first surgery date! Besides, if I start packing right now, I get packing panic, thinking that if I don't bring this or that, that I'll be totally lost without it.

First time I've been called rock star. For me it's more like...well, I used up my swear quota for the day, so I won't say it.

No I JUST couldn't! So, *sticks out tongue* PFFFFFFFFFT to you too! And they better not jack around with me because if they do...I'll just...pout and cry and just be unpleasant to be around like, forever.

Thanks everybody for being so excited for me! I sometimes feel like I'm bragging, but I can't be if I'm doing something right for myself, yeah?

Anyways, thank you so much for posting saying. "Yay" or "Whoo-hoo" or "Congrats"! It brightens my day.

*hugs*

P.S. sorry for my lame attempt at comedy
