Surgery Date: October 15, 2003

I am nervous and excited and apprehensive. I am praying that I am blessed enough to have a complication-free procedure. I've dreamed of this chance at a healthy and active life for so long that I'm afraid something will happen to ruin it all. But (I'm saying this to myself AND all my pre-op cohorts out there), I will not dwell on negative thoughts, I will focus on the positive possibilities and endeavor to work my "tool" to my best advantage. I wish all my October sisters and brothers the very best.
