Hi, GOT A SURGERY DATE!!!

My surgery date is Aug. 26th and I can't wait. It has been a smooth and long road. I can't wait until this part is over and I am on the recovering side.

Christy - You are so lucky to have had a smooth road - I've had the rollercoaster but am set for August 26th, also. I'm having a hard time concentrating at work - I wish I could take the next week and a half off! I would like to clean my house really well and prepare food ahead. Dreamin' !! My next two weekends will be busy with family get-togethers because my birthday is the 19th. So that just leaves the workdays to get through - and I'm not busy enough at work these days to help. Okay, enough complaining - it's all busy mind work at this point! ha! I've shopped - new underwear, bras, and robe and slippers....packed my bag even!! How are you killing the time? I'm having surgery (open duodenal switch) at Mayo in Rochester, Minnesota. That's a three-hour drive from my home in Iowa - but I feel I'm going to the best place I can! Do you have to travel far? Write back if you have time....we will have this in common for the rest of our lives!! - Kathy
