My Re-Birth is Monday
Just another day and then surgery! Wow, can't believe it. I will be reborn on Monday....starting my new life...I am anxious and full of anticipation....part of me is absolutely terrified! ...I know its the part that uses food as a comfort, and knows that it will not be there for me anymore...I have full faith in my doctor, but I realize if its my time to go, there is nothing that they can do...I have had very long talks with God about my new life and what He has in store for me, and I know its still up to Him....I just keep thinking that me getting approved and having the surgery is all to good to be true and that I have never been this lucky in my life....So something must go wrong...But I know that I have had every test imaginable done at least once and sometimes 2X's and all is ok...I am one of those people who when someone says "don't look down" I usually do, or I close my eyes and jump, lol So here I go...with my eyes open, looking down to make sure the drop is as far as I thought and then Monday, I will close my eyes and jump! My best friend drove part of the way to Oklahoma today with her daughter.. Hi Lesa and Brittany! I don't know what I would do without all the support of my friends, I am truely blessed!! Thank you Lord for making these last few weeks fly by. Oh and for taking away my craving for nicotine. (29 days)
Sandra, my thoughts and prayers will be with you for a safe surgery. Your words could have been penned by me! My surgery is a week after yours and I was sitting here reading some things and found your post. I'm also filled with mixed feelings, but most of them are happy ones. Just wish my family was more sensitive to my needs right now. I'm the "caretaker" one in the family, always the one to do special things for them, and wish they would recipricate for me now...guess I'm just feeling a bit alone as it was a decision made solely by myself. I asked my husband to go get me an ice cream last night as a last treat, but it would have tasted so much better if he had suggested it! I'm also retiring from teaching on Wednesday after 34 years and have mixed feelings about that, too. Anyway, you will be in my prayers tonight.
