I'm ready to take my place on the bench!

I start my two day clear liquids tomorrow, do my Magnesium Citrate Sunday and have to be at the hospital Monday morning at 8:45!!!

Karen: good for you, it'll be over before you know it. I'm one week out and couldn't be happier with my decision. I'll save you a seat beside me on the bench. Let us know how you're doing.

Thanks everyone! Yep, for quite a while I never really imagined that this day would come. I am so lucky and blessed that my last referral went into the military system instead of the civlian one.

It's been quite a ride, and the fun part hasn't even started yet! I am so excited to finally get to be able to take this huge next step.

New life, new body, new house.... it's gonna be a wild ride!
