Alright, Third weekers

This will be a stressfull week of waiting for you. Both the first weekers and second weekers had some major meltdowns. You have an opportunity to learn from us. The lessons: Expect to be snippy and intolerant in your feeling of others, both in your private world and on this board. Expect others to be snippy with you. Don't take it personally. Withhold your response until you can be loving and gentle. The feelings we don't hurt will bless us all, especially the second weekers who have big things on their minds! Honestly, I don't think any of us knew before this how much turmoil we feel that week of waiting in the wings. There are none of us that are immune. Bring your pain here, but not your weapons. OK? Joy

Good advise Joy.

I am a 3rd weeker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is getting closer and closer. And the closer it gets the more calm I seem to be with this. I think I have everything I need but you never know. I would no****ch not the TV special. I got a call about it to let me know it was on. I do not need negative reports about a Doctor that is inexperienced. My doctor is very experienced and I have basically walked with 2 friends since January who had the surgery with him. Both are doing great. My family is laying low. But I know if I need them they will be there for me. My girl friend who is staying with me at the hospital has a very rough week ahead of her. I will ask for prayers for her in a new post. Guess I have to warn work to watch out. It is getting near. I am so so excited.

Thanks for the advice Joy. I've been extremely calm all along. This morning when I realized I'm now in single digits, some "pangs" of trepidation tried to crrep in. I rolled over, gave the dog an extra hug (yes, I do mean dog and not DH - I'm single), covered my head with the blanket and went back to sleep Felt better when I woke up the next time. I'm kind of nervous about all the things I feel like I still need to do this week though. I'm a procrastinator, but I'm afraid I may have left too much for the last week. I know some things just will not get done - oh well mgm 9 dtg

Thank you Joy, for the advice. ~Dondi
