It's finally my turn.....

I can't believe it, my time has finally come. April 5, 2005 is my surgery date - yes, you heard it correctly - I finally have a date. 41 days - but who's counting! I am excited, but I don't think it has really set in yet. I am sure it will soon! The nurse offered a date to my of March 15th, however, that freaked me out, I feel like I need this time to get all my stuff together and it will be here before I know it. I am still having insurance issues, but am able to go ahead with the surgery while that is being resolved. THANK YOU to everyone who has given me support and encouragement through this tought time of waiting, especially my wonderful Angel, Cheryl!! Thanks again! Love to you all! Phyllis

Oh Phyliss!! I am so happy for you!! I am so glad you never gave up, or looked back...You fought for this and soon you will be on the losing side!! I am jumping for joy for you!! Congratulations. Anne

Hey Joanie, I am good and thanks for asking. Work is getting on my nerves and I wish I could just quit lol but hey I do have bills. I am down 72.5 since 11.16.04 and 82.5 since I started this procedure. I am feeling food both physically and mentally. I have not gotten sick yet but I do not see that as such a good thing because I sometimes may not know my limit. Thanks for the compliment regarding my pic and now the question of the day for you is how are you doing? Toya
