Default Omg!!!

I can't believe this! I am in shock!!!

I just heard from my doctors office, and they told me that I will be having the surgery June 18th!!! Thats just 1 week from this Monday!

Turns out the Dr. that is leaving the hospital did some switching around, and made a spot for me.

I don't know if I should dance, or cry right now.

I'm scared about having it done, but I'm thrilled that it will be done so soon.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT

Keith
That is great news. It is normal to be scared just before surgery. Focus on the positive and all of the reasons you have pushed so hard for this surgery.

Keith get your name on the June staplers list..

Take care and may God bless.

Have you got your packing done?

You have all most made it to the losers bench....

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well you just never know what may happen when at times desperation seems to take over. I'm glad you've got a second chance and really hope it works out for you!
