Hi everyone, and thanks so much for the kind words (or novel, in
Angela's case ;) Your support and blessings mean so much to
me and have already given me strength.
As I write this it's almost 10 pm on Tuesday, May 10, and my
surgery is Friday, May 13. So I have 2 days and a wakeup, as
they say here, before my big day. I'm nervous, apprehensive,
questioning... but mostly excited. And a little grumpy due to the
strict pre-surgery diet, but optimistic and hopeful for the first
time in a long time. I've been surfing profiles, reading details
and seeing smiling face after smiling face as people start their
new lives.
I'm really hopeful -- not quite confident yet, but hopeful -- that
this will be the push that I need to get my health in gear and be
able to sail, swim, run and all the other things I've missed.
So think of me on Friday the 13th and thanks thanks thanks!
Best,
kate
