I've got a date!!!

Yippeeeeeeeeeeee!  It will go by so fast, too.  The reality is, it will all fall into place by surgery time. :-)

We've got a seat on the bench waiting for you.

Thank you Tami  and Jan...It will be good to meet one and all on that bench one of these days...its gotta be one heck of a long bench....got the best of the losers on it! 
God Bless you one and all...Kim in Fontana 

How exciting Kim....I am so happy for you!! You will be in good hands too. Dr. Suh has done my surgery and a lot of others around here! 10/7 is right around the corner!!! YAY!!!!  

Thank you Janine....I have yet to meet an unhappy person regarding this procedure.  The few I have heard of either had some unpleasant complications or did not follow the protocol afterwards. 
My heartache is that my beloved mother, who passed away just a few months ago, cannot be here to hear and see of my adventure.  I wanted to call her so badly yesterday, she has worried about me and my weight for 10-15 years and she passed away while I was on hiatus from continuing with the program.  We were going to take another cruise to Alaska next year and do some of the shore excursions that I couldn't do the last time we went to Alaska in 2001. 
Ok..I've had my shoulder sob for the day,  thank you for the use of yours. 
Keep up and enjoy your mural work, it is an activity of love. "nothing of gain comes without pain"
Blessings, Kim in Fontana

Dear Kim,

Congratulations on getting a date!  You are in for a wonderful ride.  Everyone is scooching over on the loser's bench to make a place for you!!  Wishing you a speedy and uneventful recovery.
