hello all! well, this is it. (almost). within the hour I will be on my way to Fairbanks. I have a pre-op visit and hospital labs tomorrow. Then, Saturday, the Fairbanks Support Meeting. Sunday is family time and Monday is THE DAY! I'll be on the losing side from then on! Say a prayer for me and my family as we will be far from home! My sweet angels Julie Gregg and Holly Halvorson will be keeping everyone informed! Thank you guys! Thank you Jennifer Hughes for offering us a place to stay! I'm not sure if I'll get to post again before surgery...so, I will see you on the other side! love, kim
