I don't dream about the surgery, but all sorts of other crazy things. Maybe my body is getting ready to rest in the hospital for a week - who knows, but when Saturday comes, I will be happy to get on the plane.

I even am dreaming about setting off the security alarm at the airport due to all my staples and them not believing me and think I am hiding drugs in my belly and pouch...

........and they are going to give me morphene next week!!! Watch out hospital staff.

Samm, Carrie and Tawna are going to see a crazy side of me on Sunday when we all meet...that I am very very excited to meet them all.

Enough ramblings from a crazy woman!
*LOL* That is just too funny, Lisa!! Crazy what nerves do to us, eh? I tend to be a pretty nervous Nellie before anything big so I'll probably be joining you on the crazy bench! I'm usually just fine the day of, it's the time before. Sheesh...my little ole' pouch is already going into knots just thinking about it and I don't even have a date yet!!! When you get back keep reminding me that everything will be just fine..ok? I think I'll need the calming hand of my podmate. *L*....

man...aren't we the sorry pair! Guess I know why you and I became each other's podmates!! We deserve each other!

Hang in there Lisa............you'll do great!!!!!!

If you set off the security alarms at the airport just think of what an adventure you will have to tell.

Just keep thinking about how exciting it will be to meet the three of us. We are all excited to meet you.

I talked to Carrie last night and we are all set to meet you at about 10:30.

Thanks Donna we are sure going to have a great time!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't forget the scrapbook store!!!!!!! Being pre op buying clothes for myself doesn't really excite me but scrapbook supplies and patterned paper that is this girl's dream shopping day.

Now helping you and Carrie pick out clothes and helping you spend your money that will be fun.
