****FASTING 44.5 hours and counting.....

Well I'm finally here in the fasting stage, started last night at 12 midnight. My surgery is this Wednesday, May 19, 2004, at 4:00 in the afternoon, so I still have 44.5 hours to go, but who's counting. I have been eating sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, chicken broth, clear liquids and trying to keep busy, but "Oh how I would love something to chew" LOL ..... Right now, pureed food is sounding pretty good! Thank you for all your support and keep me in your prayers! ((Hugs to all)) Patti C

Hi Patti, You are on the home stretch now! Pretty soon we will be crowning you loser. Exciting!! Linda

Guess they didn't go for the 48 hours thing huh... Don't forget to stay up really late tomorrow night. Give me a call if you get this email - I realized I don't have your # & I wanted to tell you something. I love what you said about the pureed food sounding good - shows a great spirit. When you have some of it on sunday - it will taste wonderful!! You might want to have something ready in the freezer so it won't take any more effort then zapping in the microwave. I'm so excited for you!

Wow your day is almost here!! Sounds like you are in good spirits and ready for this part of your journey....you will be in my prayers for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. Dana C

You're almost there, Patti and you do sound in good spirits. LOL puree thing! Best of luck and we'll be waiting to hear from you when you get to the other side. Dianne
