Tonight.....

Well, tonight is my husbands Marine Corps ball. I have been looking forward to tonight since surgery. I am down a little more than 40 pounds and nobody he works with has seen me since before surgery. We got a room in the hotel where the ball is being held and I went all out with my dress this year. Lord knows my bank account noticed, lol. At our support group meeting the other day I asked the docs assistant about having a drink. She said in a small amount if I could tolorate it she didnt see why not. SOOOOO The other night since i know i do very well with milk I added some Kahlua in it and didnt have any trouble at all. I will allow myself one drink tonight. I'll let everyone know how the night went. Hope everyone had a great wekend.

Hi Monica, I hope your night is magical and exceeds all your expectations. I know you'll be as beautiful as Cinderella in your dress. You've worked hard so go out and have the time of your life tonight. I can't wait to hear how it went. Julia

Ditto what Julia said, Monica. Hope you truly have a ball, and that everyone was as amazed and delighted with the "new you" as they could be. I KNOW that special Marine of yours is proud!
