2 more days until surgery!!!

06.23.03...I am scheduled for surgery Wednesday and am so nervous and excited. I don't have any family members (except my husband) who can stay with me at the hospital, so I am having our babysitter spend the night. Now that all the little details are out of the way, I can't get my mind off of the surgery! I am very excited, but scared too!! I am new to this website and have found it very helpful!! God Bless, Stephanie Hallit

Stephanie: Hope all goes well for you. I'm relatively new at all this myself (found the website within the last month or so). I just received my surgery date of 7/14/03 and I know how anxious I am so can't imagine how nervous/scared/excited/terrified/elated/thrilled/(did I mention scared) you must be right now. I don't have any words of wisdom to give you as I haven't gone through the process either yet. But, just remember why you are doing this. We all have our own issues/reasons but ultimately the end result is the same - we are intelligent individuals *****alize that a change is needed and are going to start taking control of the rest of our lives in order to become who we know is trapped inside of us! Good luck; will look forward to future updates on your condition!

Hey Stephanie, I'm scheduled on 6-25-03 myself and I'm no longer scared. I've realized that faith is number one for success for me. I wish you well on your journey, and I will keep you in my prayers. We can swap experiences later. Good luck girl!! Pam, Det., MI
