Hi Karen. I too am nervous. My date is Oct. 8th and it is fast approaching. I am having surgery at Hurley Hospital in Flint, MI and my surgeon is Dr. Harris Dabideen. I have to drive down from the U.P. the day before since I have to be at the hospital at 7:00am for my 9:30am surgery. I come home from work every night and get on line so I can check out the new posts each day and find out how others are doing. Reading all the good stories kind of takes away some of the nervousness and changes it to excitement! I can hardly wait. Time is going by so fast now that I know I will wake up one day and think OH MY GOD....TODAY IS THE DAY!!!! Then it is on to the losing side. Doesn't it strike you kind of funny that this far in life we all want to be LOSERS!! Well, here's to us. Congratulations on your date, it will be here before you know it. Cari

I said a prayer for you. I asked that God will anoint anyone *****ads this (and all on this site) from the top of their head to the soles of their feet, and that he would open up the gates of heaven and pour out a blessing upon you that there shall not be room enough to contain it. I don't know your religion. But I will tell you that things happen for reasons we don't always understand. The darkest part of night is just before day. This situation will make you stronger. And you will be able to give someone advice in the future because you have gone through it. Just remember to thank God it is what is it. Don't compare yourself to examples of how much better things could be (anything). Rather yet compare yourself to examples of how much WORSE things could be. THAT WILL HELP YOU TO PRAISE GOD IN THE TIME OF CIR****TANCE! He made "OLD DRY BRITTLE BONES LIVE AGAIN"! Baby he can turn your situation, AND MY SITUATION around and work it out for the good of us. What looked like it was the worse thing that ever happened to you, can turn around to be the best thing that ever happened to you. The things that people do to harm you, can be turned around to make them bless you. Just keep your head up. There is more than what meets the eye! Sometimes we want things and can't understand why we don't get them, or why we dont get them when we want them. But God can see in the future for us. I pray that you let him light your footsteps and you follow him. Let him be your guide. Let him order your steps of righteousness. Amen!

I've never been so emotionally unstable in my life!! You will be okay! I'll keep you in my prayers!
