Inspiring...
Hey I wanted to share this with the rest of you, I got it in my email today from a site that I subscribe to called "dailyom.com" -- sometimes it's great how it speaks right to me and today was one of those days... I thought this might help someone else too!

Overcoming Obstacles
Nothing Is Insurmountable
When our next best course of action seems unclear, any dilemmas we face can appear insurmountable. Yet there is nothing we cannot overcome with time, persistence, focused thought, help, and faith. Whatever the situation or problem, there is always a solution. And if you remember to look within, even as you search around you for the "right" course of action, you will be able to center yourself, clear your mind, and see that nothing has to be impossible.
The first step in overcoming any obstacle is to believe that it can be overcome. Doing so will give you the strength and courage to move through any crisis. The second step is to make a resolution that you can prevail over any chaos. Enlist your support network of family and friends if necessary. The more minds there are to consider a problem, the more solutions can be found. Don't discount ideas just because they seem impractical or "unrealistic," and don't keep searching for the "best" alternative. Often there is no "best" choice, there is only a choice to make so we can begin moving beyond whatever is obstructing our path. At the very least, making a choice, even if isn't the ideal one, can give you a sense of peace before you have to figure out what your next course of action will be.
If you feel overwhelmed by the scope of your troubles, you may want to think of other people who have turned adversity into triumph. We often gain a fresh perspective when we remember others who have overcome larger obstacles. It can be inspiring to hear of their victories, helping us remember that there is always light at the end of every tunnel. It is during our darkest hours that we sometimes need to remind ourselves that we don't have to feel helpless. You have within and around you the resources to find a solution to any problem. And remember that if a solution or choice you make doesn't work, you are always free to try another. Believe that you can get through anything, and you will always prevail.

I grew up in Hurleyville. I doubt you've heard of it. It's part of Fallsburg. My parents live in Liberty. I very glad I moved to Maine 
Yes.........I can't believe the day is almost here. Tomorrow is my last day home. I check in at 6:00 Wednesday morning!! Needless to say I'm just a rollercoster of emotions. It doesn't help that I reread the memorial pages yesterday. I know that was dumb but I was trying to see if most of those people had issues that I don't have and most of them did. I just can't wait until it's over and I'm back home!!
How are things with you? When will you know when you can reschedule the surgery?

How are things with you? When will you know when you can reschedule the surgery? I think I have heard of Hurleyville! My husband used to work for a company that sent him up that way (one of MANY jobs he's had)!
I did the same thing with the Memorial Page. We can't help it I guess! 
But you will be fine, I was amazed at how easy the "LAP" part was, so I'm sure the rest will be fine too!
I got my report from the radiologist today and there doesn't seem to be anything there that would cause them to post pone again so Wednesday when I see the surgeon, I hope he tells me I can have my surgery the following Monday. I'm praying!
I will be thinking of you and praying for you Wednesday.
You will do great!
HUGS, Vi
