Default It is almost time!

June 1st is the date of my hernia repair and I just can't wait. I have been feeling so uncomfortable and my back is hurting, too. I went yesterday for my pre-op appointment and the hospital has me schedued for 3:00 PM. They told me I can not eat, drink, or chew gum past midnight on Tuesday...so that is a LONG, LONG time for me not to drink. Please pray that I will make it through. The TT is also scheduled at the same time, so I have two great surgeons at the same time. Since my surgery is at 3:00 in the afternoon and is 3-1/2 hours long, I won't be admitted to a room until at least 9:00 PM according to the nurse. This means I won't be able to see family and friends until 5/2 Thursday. That is all for now....just very anxious.

Love to all of those who have been cheering me on...it means a lot to me.

Dale,
Big hugs to you my dear. I know how anxious you are to get rid of Herman. I can't say that I miss Henry and the Henrietta's! My advice to you is to request a binder....oops, you are getting the TT so I am sure that will be mandatory for you. I will see you on the 2nd. Best wishes to you my itsy bitsy little friend! I love you.

Default Dale,

I've got all my thoughts and prayers coming your way to make it though till 3:00 p.m. without anything! That is going to be hard, but it's worth it and YOU CAN DO IT!
