Talking One small step for mankind...

One giant step for me! It's here! Tomorrow is the BIG DAY! Leaving home @ 4:00 am to be at Houston hospital by 5:00. Just want to thank everyone on here for your part in getting me to this point. I am really nervous but just want to get it over with so I can get on with my new Life.

I would appreciate all thoughts and prayers!
