Default Move Over!!!
I'm jumping on the loser's bench tomorrow! I've been pretty anxious all day today and I just want to get it over with. I just had my last meal (opti-fast tomato soup, mmm...) and got my bag packed. Good luck to everybody else that's going in tomorrow! See y'all on the bench!

All the best to you Jennifer, this will be the starting of a wonderful new life you are giving yourself.

Remember always be kind, patient, and gentle with yourself after you've gotten back home. This is the start of the new life and like everything this will take you some getting used too, but you will do great.

Hey Jenn, as I said earlier - see ya on the other side. I'm sure we'll both be fine. Jessica said her surgeon had to make an emergency trip and had to cancel her surgery so I think it's just you and me!

I am one week out today and I feel great! Just do what you doc tells you to and really do get up and walking as soon as you can. I literally don't take any pain meds now (stopped 2 days ago) and can't believe this amazing healing process. So, don't be too worried about the pain, etc because your doc will take good care of you!

For me, the actual surgery has been just one exciting part of the journey. I'll be thinking about ya'
